Answer 1

The religion opress women in folowing ways'

all the rules of religion are laid by men and are often not women friendlly

Most of the concept of God in religion is male as it often makes the women inacessable to God as he is male

It laid down lots of restriction to the women

In islam often the women is not allowed to enter the mosque

In christianioty women are not allowed to be priests

The purity and impurity is defined in religion based on mesturation of women in which women are considered impure during menstruation. th irony is that in religion a male who had committed a murder has entry into religious place whereas a women who bleeds herself for the world (menstruation) is restricted

Women are mostly restricted in their entry outside and dressing pattern. this is seen in islam

Answer 2

Christianity and Islam are 2 religions with the most followers in the world. Yes, they both have leaders, most of them are male. This is because women around the world are not given a chance to learns, succeed and move forward. If there are girls and boys in the family, boys are sent to school and girls do not receive a good education. As soon as they are adults, they are married off to so they can make families. Both these faiths encourage having large families. Therefore, women are not really given a chance to progress in society and they do not get equal rights as their male counterparts. These are some ways in which women's right to equality and equal opportunities are taken away.
