How come its ok o enslave women but not people of color?

It wasn't too long ago that apatheid was a world evil in south Africa.

Americans all over the country were incensed that blacks were third class citizens and that there was a category where other people of color were also discriminated against by law.

The pressure grew so great that American companies began divesting from South Africa.

So how come no one complains, protests, or calls for divestment from so many muslim countries that practice discrimination against women on a level that makes South africa pale by comparison?

Women are forced to cloth themselves head to toe, have many restrictions that men don't have, sometimes face gential mutilations.

Is it because we inherently value women less? In south africa it wasn't only black women that suffered but black men also.

Or is it because its not ok to discriminate and hurt people using social theory, but it is ok to discriminate and hurt people using religious belifs?

I would think women all over the nation would be up in arms about this.
