Discuss why many female Middle Eastern immigrants have a poor understanding about sexuality-related topics.

What will be an ideal response?


Traditional beliefs dictate that women should not learn about sexual relationships until marriage. Their primary source of sexuality education, besides the media, is married friends. Many messages these women receive are confusing and have resulted in a sense of self-worthlessness. Gender, birth order, family honor, religion, and traditional cultural values are highly regarded and are associated with lower status for women, male dominance, and discrimination against women.
