Qatar Women mostly cover their heads in accordance with the Muslin law and order. The thing with which the Qatar Women cover their heads is known as "hijab". This way it is also understood that the Qatar Women are making a statement about their identities that they are Muslims and have a good moral character. Many such Muslim women who cover their heads are filled with a sense of self-esteem and dignity. At the same time, they are also pleased to be identified as Muslims.
It is believed that a woman who is covering herself with a borqua or a hijab is actuallt concealing her sexuality and is trying to reveal only her feminine identity. Women in Qatar have voting rights, driving rights and can choose the course of their own lives. However it is also true that the society of Qatar is largely a male dominated one.
The Qatari Women have been blessed with full rights along with the male members of the society due to the initiative taken by the Emir and his wife Sheikha Mouza. The latter endorses women's conferences, women's issues and find out solutions to the problems faced by the working women.
