Yes you have been telling me that.
And you have been confirming that. :)
Woah. Heres the crux of the question. WHY is that worthy of criticism? Lets just stick to this part now, since we agree on it. So to repeat what we agree on:
Well, the criticism since the beginning was on emphasize of girls back on street to be continued to be exploited.
Why worried about this criticism unless YOU wish them to be exploited?
You could have agreed with anyone condemning the exploited but you did not. I wonder why?
The military has been successful in removing the Taliban from Swat, and so they have returned.
No. Not that this article says. It put emphasis on returning on girls by the actions of army. Again, read the article title. :)
Explain to us why this particular statement, which we both agree on, is worthy of criticism.
The part where it is criticized is where it says, return of dancing girls.
The bolded bit is my prescription for what should be done. If we wish to stick with what the article says, it merely presents a nuanced picture of the lives of these girls, and much of the picture is that of exploitation.
There you go. Glad to see you now mentioned after seeing full copy that there was absolutely nothing to suggest anything about NGO or making any prescription what to do with these girls. In fact, the way the article was written it showed sad picture of these girls and tried to make people feel sad for them and indirectly feel supportive of army action to do the 'right thing' to let them go on their business. Nothing to suggest if these girls were indeed wrong or what to do to help them.
And no, it did not suggest any exploitation and no treatment or prescription.
I have no idea why would you even defend the stupid writer?
Anyhow, I was correct in saying it was your figment of imagination. Thanks for admitting.
Thank you.
Welcome.
The exploitation is apparent. Here are some of the details that point to expoitation:
Aged 16.. But deadened eyes give a different impression. She looks apathetic, even bored. Perhaps she has already too often endured discomfiting advances of men far older, perhaps overweight and cloaked in the body odour... Shabana is 24 and has already been working for nine years. A thick crust of dead skin lines her feet. In Pakistan, dancing girls are born into the trade. Shunned by mainstream society, daughters have no option but take up the family business when their mother's beauty wanes, or in this case when Shabana's mother died. Even her true identity is doubtful. She uses the same name as her murdered cousin. “People just look at our flesh, they don't care about our names,” she said softly, by way of explanation.
Note that none of these is in any way a celebratory picture of prostitution.
Like I said, there is nothing in article which suggest exploitation of these girls.
All this means gaining some sympathy for these girls without pushing forward any real solution for them in the days where peace is established.
Spare me the false confidence.
That is your perception. Don't know why. :)
