“Covered, Not Bound”: Young Dawoodi Bohra Women’s Self-Representation and Agency through the Online Website Mighzal
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Mighzal , an online website managed by a team of young Bohra women from various parts of the world, is an online blog/space that is meant to “reflect the myriad dreams, concerns, and preoccupations of practicing Dawoodi Bohra women”. This paper will examine the various blogs, art, and pieces on Mighzal and the profile of its core team members, using digital ethnography and participant observation, to ask how young Dawoodi Bohra women are actively participating in the creation of their own discourses while negotiating and questioning discourses of gender and religious stereotyping that they encounter in their daily lives. How do these representations contribute to the creation of a unique form of agency? How have these spaces enabled them to assert their identities and distinct modes of dress? This paper also draws on the author’s own encounter with these online spaces, and the questions that have been posed here, as a practicing member of the community.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
