Islam and women’s rights

“I read that Human Rights Watch has advertised for a position of Shari ‘ah adviser for its Women’s Rights section. So will Human Rights Watch also hire an adviser on Jewish and Christian religious laws, or do the folks of Human Rights Watch feel that gender equality has been fully achieved in all religious groups with the exception of Islam?”
