Religion often hinders progress of certain groups. Women usually are placed in a subordinate role in the monotheistic tradition. Orthodox Jews hold a strict view on women's roles in society. The Western media often makes the false claim that Islam treats women horribly. This is not monopolized by one religion. Many are guilty of violating women's basic rights as human beings. Orthodox Jewish women are attempting to become more politically active, but are met with oppression. B'Zchutan Party is entering the Israeli elections hoping to challenge traditional views. This situation proves the more religious a nation becomes, the worse it will be for women.
