In the context of global women’s human rights, explains vernacularisation as a process that entails the extraction of the human rights language and its adaptation in the local context. Crucial to such a process are ‘knowledge-brokers’, who operate in the ‘middle’ or, in between the local and the global, such as rights activists, lawyers, policy makers, who „[…] refashion global rights agendas for local contexts and reframe local grievances in terms of global human rights principles and activities“ (2006: 39)

Abstract:
The attitudes towards muslims are perceived as stereotyped as media represented with multiple attributes conjectured as incompatible to secular laws such as gender inequality, non compliance of integrations in the multicultural and multiracial societies, behavioral practices presumed as controlled by faith, impediments in women taking jobs due to fear of intermixing of genders along with traditional notion of muslim women’s stay in home giving an impression that islam is responsible for muslim backwardness. However, these ages old verdicts practiced in the garb of religious color adopted as a result of medieval orthodoxy, patriarchal and tribal local customs developed under androcentric hegemony. Also, the evolution of different madhab’s (school’s) in islam put oil in the fire with each school’s interpretation posses variantion even on same issues made the sharia law complicated in nations such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey. However, it is well documented fact that in prophets era and rashidun caliph’s spell the gender equality in all spheres of life with shoulder to shoulder, in same line with the modern western countries were observed as without fifty percent population’s active involvement it is hard to imagine a vibrant nation.
