Three decades of war have caused untold anguish to Bangsamoro women. But they have remained resolute and strong. Now they face a dilemma: war or peace? War is bloody and costly. And peace does not always right old wrongs. As they contemplate their situation, Bangsamoro women hold on to Islam. The veil is the symbol of their commitment to their people and their way of life. It is the mark of their faith.
Behind the Veil: Voices of Moro Women (1998) is currently not available on any services.
