Résumé
As a result of the attacks that took place in the United States on 11 September 2001, and the ensuing war on terror in Afghanistan, Pakistan suddenly became a key partner to the United States of America (US). Internationally, the image of Pakistan as a fundamentalist country in general, and with its women as veiled, submissive and oppressed in particular emerged (Critelli 2010, p. 236). Prior to the US war on terror, Pakistan was already experiencing critical times due to the increased Talibanization of the country and a military takeover by General Pervaiz Musharaf (Rashid 2008).
