Palestinian designer empowers her women

RAMALLAH, Middle East - It's only three words on a T-shirt or embroidered on a denim jacket in Palestinian designer Yasmeen Mjalli's collection, but the words carry a powerful message: "Not your habibti", or darling.

She sees the clothes as helping empower women facing unwelcome male attention in public.

"When a woman is exposed to so much harassment on the street, she begins to dress to protect herself, to hide herself as opposed to expressing herself," the 22-year-old art history graduate said, leaning against the counter of her shop in Ramallah in the occupied West Bank.
