Mercurial: we the blind

Referring to the teenager recently liberated, briggs
says

When we accept in our open and democratic society the normalcy of veiled women, women hidden from public view, prevented from speaking, not allowed to have faces, or voices, or--let me be perfectly clear--not allowed to exist in their own right, then we have abandoned them. If we do not see the veiled girls and women we have lost them even as they walk among us.

We are easy to control, and eager for restrictions, aren't we?
This girl and her plight point to what we, as society, have become.
