Women are not safe in Pakistan… what a terrific plight for a country that suffers all miseries ranging from poverty to fundementalism.(obviously one can not forget the fact that it is a fertile soil for terrorism)…
Does anyone has data about rapes and murders and domestic voilance in west and particularly in U.S. I feel sorry for those who just leave no opertunity to go forward to bring out something in international media for Pakistan and other countries which is not a inside page news in west or U.S resident.
It happens in every society and we should all work to minimise this.
umm.. the reason y i pointed out the west was so u don go all cheezy about just paki.. there is no point of pickin on a issue if u don compare to other countries to say if we aer as bad..
btw.. we are humans.. not perfect.. and well sum men cant control dere hormones.. so.. u gota hand it to em..
Well,those who have got hard feelings and those who have not got hard feelings :D can read the statement given by Mushy in Newyork.
(When the altercation began to get uglier, Pakistan’s ambassador to the US Jehangir Karamat, who was Gen Musharraf’s senior in the army, approached the podium and moved the president away by gently patting his shoulders .
The president, however, returned to the podium and said he was not against those women who were working for women’s cause.
Earlier in his speech, Gen Musharraf highlighted two issues — violence against women and gender inequality —, saying that the violence was abhorrent and shameful and his government was making laws to end this curse.
He acknowledged that Pakistan’s record on violence against women left much to be desired. “We should be ashamed of it and improve the situation for ourselves and the world to see,” he said.
But he firmly stated that he stood opposed to anyone who sought to single out Pakistan by highlighting individual cases outside Pakistan, given that rape was a worldwide issue).
