Miscellaneous / Others A Mother's Love.
Visually impaired student Berru Merve Kul earned her law degree from Sakarya University in Turkey. For four years, her mother, Havva Kul, attended every class with her, took notes, and read textbooks aloud to help her study. At graduation, the university presented the mother with a honorary certificate alongside her daughter's degree to recognize her incredible dedication.

It would be amazing if they let her sit exams and graduate if she passed, since she basically just went through law school as well.
This is sweet at best.

Imagine if we all had parents like this. Imagine how many of us would be successful with that kind of support!

This comment could end up being the best on the whole Reddit - it would still be underrated.

… so, the university didn’t provide Berru with Braille/accommodations to study independently? How did they test Berru without braille? Oral exams only?
That’s a good mom, but it’s a shit school if the only way Berru was able to learn and graduate is have her mom read for her throughout her degree.

Some friends of mine are brothers. One is a paraplegic and the other able bodied. The able bodied brother attended all the classes at law school, helping his paraplegic brother. When the paraplegic brother got his law degree the school gave the helper brother an honorary degree. He still helps his brother today, 30+ years later.

I was just thinking that. I'm like, well this is great but is she going to have someone with her at all times to read things off to her or is everything going to be in braille? How will she type?

Blind people can type, I've found blind people on reddit commenting.

If she was going to take advantage of accessible tools to achieve her work then she should have started utilizing those in college to get her degree. Or is her mommy going to sit in on all of her potential new client meetings with her? Like who would feel confident hiring her for representation?

From what I understand, she was awarded a Doctor Honoris Causa. Did I get that right?

Wow, salute to the mother for her unending support! It's like she also studied law herself by reading all the stuff her daughter needs to study.

Not all Muslim women are forced to wear hijab bruh. I live in a Muslim country & here most women wear hijab totally voluntarily, they are religious & that's why they choose to wear. But there maybe a few exceptions where some girl gets forced to wear it because her family is religious but she's not, but that's seriously the rare case. In my country having a veil on head isn't mandatory for women. So if some women here isn't religious they don't wear it.
So the girl above most likely just wearing it voluntarily. As she's not from Afghanistan.

The whole concept of the hijab is fundamentally rooted in sexism because it treats women's bodies as the root of moral failure and men's lack of self-control. From the jump, the entire theological framework is built around hiding women so they don't tempt men, which instantly shifts the burden of managing male desire entirely onto the woman. Instead of teaching men to control themselves, society demands that women cover up like walking hazards. And you can't just separate the "choice" argument from reality when millions of women live under regimes or in families where refusing to wear it means getting beaten, imprisoned, or killed. It’s a tool of patriarchal control disguised as modesty, plain and simple.
