Punished for Being Female - New York Times
by ubernoir at 10:07 am EST, Nov 2, 2006 |
Bride burnings, honor killings, female infanticide, sex trafficking, mass rape as a weapon of war and many other hideous forms of violence against women are documented in a report released last month by the United Nations. The report, a compilation of many studies from around the world, should have been seen as the latest dispatch from that permanent world war — the war against women all over the planet. Instead, the news media greeted its shocking contents with a collective yawn.
note rape within marriage was only made illegal in the UK in 1994
see here at a government website for conformation |

Does the report also cite that the UN is responsible for a lot of these atrocities? Like the rape units and sex trafficking cartels in Bosnia and Darfur? |
