Gendered Islamophobia

The fact that Islamic tradition imposes dress codes on women, but not on men, or that it permits polygyny but not polyandry, reflects the structural sexism of Muslim societies, reinforcing gender stereotypes.[1]

Gendered Islamophobia is a specific form of Islamophobia that manifests through stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination directed differently toward Muslim men and women.[2]

In this form of sexism, Muslim women are portrayed as inherently oppressed, backward, or incompatible with values such as gender equality. This representation serves to justify both their exclusion and the supposed need to liberate them.[3][4]

Muslim men, meanwhile, are perceived as sexist or violent, and may even be associated with extremist or terrorist values. These prejudices portray them as potential aggressors not only toward Muslim women, but toward all women and Western society as a whole, thereby serving to justify the expulsion of migrants.[2][5]
