Purdah literally translated from its Persian origins means veil or curtain. It is a concept that is used as a synonym for social practices that isolate or separate different groups in society. Although purdah can refer to many different social practices of isolation, the term is most immediately associated with a practice of gender segregation in mostly although not exclusively Muslim societies
