The Economist.
Hello, and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm Rosie Blau.
Today on the show, how honour culture holds women back.
And the rise of phone-free concerts.
But first,
History suggests there are many ways to oppress women.
Hence the campaigns of decades past and present:
the right to vote, the right to own property, the right to equal pay.
Yet in some countries, the struggle isn't for fair treatment or safety in the workplace.
It's about being allowed to go out to work at all, thanks to so-called honour culture.
Honour culture can mean a lot of things,
but the most basic summary is that male honour depends on female seclusion,
that men have to protect the women in their families
by not letting them step outside without a male guardian.
Robert Guest is the deputy editor of The Economist.
And it has profound implications for how individual women live their lives
in countries where it's strong.
And how prevalent is it, really?
Give me some examples of what this means on the ground, Robert.
