Composition=content
Composition is lovely here, perhaps a little too much like Shiizzams recent win, but works well. You have made a good statement here, but it could be taken as too general to really fit the topic of despair.
Technical
Focus appears to be on the material, adding a bit of softness to the eye area, perhaps this could be sharper. I think that the flash is a bit too bright for this kind of shot, perhaps some soft side lighting would have been good, lighting up the eye area, but de-emphasising the material.
My Opinion
I like the shot, it has a meassge and does make people think. The composition is great.

exposure begs for natural lighting not flash. You think despair but what do you see?

You make a good cultural statement here, I like your idea. Maybe it would have been a better shot with different lighting? It seems too bright to me. I feel some shadows in the eyes would have given a better effect? Only a suggestion.

This implies...that Islamic women are despairing? I don't think I understand.

Nicely done. I really like the idea, the composition, and the light. Nice.
