Hujum
In the Soviet Union, the word "Hujum" (Russian: Худжум Khudžúm [xʊˈd͡ʐum]; Arabic: الهجوم al-Ḥujūm [al.huˈd͡ʒuːm]; lit. 'the attack') referred to a campaign by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union to remove all manifestations of gender inequality throughout the Union Republics of Central Asia. Beginning in the Stalinist era, it targeted practices that were widespread among Soviet Muslims, such as female seclusion from society, female veiling practices, and the inheritance of women as property after the death of their husbands.
