Every Arab Muslim girl knows the word ‘eab’ it means ‘shame’...I’m sure Muslims from other countries use similar words. It’s yelled at us if we: Dance Laugh Smile Breathe Exist Girls should neither be seen nor heard. Eyes down. Don’t embarrass your family. Be invisible.https://twitter.com/SalmanSima/status/1081982602171609089 …
