Ya Allah...the victims are too many...
ReplyDeleteSalute to the woman who helps the victims...
@ Vernz These women are attack due to marital infidelity, refusing to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, flirting with or receiving phone calls from men, failing to serve a meal on time or “allowing herself” to be raped, refusing to give more dowry.
ReplyDeleteIs this how they treated women, like a second class citizen or slave? I read and saw on the news the many abuses that OFW women suffered in Muslim countries where they worked.
ReplyDeleteThe truth is this is a mindset that is not influenced by religion or ethnicity. Attacks are occuring in Hong Kong; Cambodia, Bulgaria (yes Josie not only in the East) UK and America. Some people think they can treat women or any person this way. Visit www.acidviolence.org to be more informed about this. We do not believe in accusing a religion or people. Violence is violence and is always wrong ASF Pakistan does an incredible job to combat this
