Re: A Pakistani Girl
^sexism, abuse does happen everywhere, but you cannot compare the state of women in pakistan to US. pakistan, india, and some african countries are considered one of the WORST in the world for women. the way women are treated there is far worse than US. most of the women abused in Pakistan cannot even report the crimes.
this thread is about the suffering of women in pakistan, which seems to be ignored by plenty of men and labelling such incidents as ‘over generalization or exaggeration’.
strange, but not surprising, how some people here think these figures are biased. why is UN’s report biased? 10 Worst Countries in the World for Women
pakistan made it to top 10 of the worst country for women. this is biased too right? everyone is biased, only diwana has all the facts. Just google worst countries for women, and you will find pakistan in top 10 in ALL of them. they must all be biased..
United Nations study found that 90 percent of Pakistani women are verbally and mentally abused by men in their own families.
yes pakistan is not the ONLY country where women are treated horribly, but its definitely up there along with other countries which rank very poorly on how their women are treated.
I dont understand what we are going to achieve by denying these facts. even if there is gender inequailty in US and other developed countries,what does that have anything to do with this particular thread? seems like some people use that to justify whats going on with pakistani women.
Bella88, there is no point in arguing with people who don’t want to accept the reality. I don’t know why people are getting offended here. It’s not like we are blaming them for what’s going on. I don’t understand this bizarre almost violent reaction to a friggin’ blog.
