Domestic violence against women in the West!!

We must notice that such violence, which goes beyond human limits and dimensions, is not exercised by illiterate people who live in the countryside somewhere, nor in the poorest areas. Conversely, such abuse is practiced by slick men like those who appear in Hollywood who are in some cases well educated having high social status. It is exercised against weak women, regardless how fine they may appear to be … after returning to their homes; they become nothing more than slaves under the effect of lash of humility and violence.



We will limit our talk to domestic violence against women in the west, and we will prove by numbers that the humiliated woman is not the one who lives in Afghanistan and wears her face cover. We will illustrate that such woman is not the one from the Arabian Peninsula, who is in fact well protected and honored in a community that calls for her respect. Real degrade and vulgarity is that which makes a woman cheap merchandise just like any other tradable good, and made her subject to attacks and all types of oppression and inequity.

progression…sick mentality?..no i think u exaggerate. My point is that u can't claim that  it occur more violence against women in any special region of the world or a piticular country if u only use statistics as a proof.

And in the west women are most of the time more independent than women from arabic countires. Independence meens they work theirselves, they have their own sallery and they don't need a man to provide for them in the same extent as arabic women. And i believe all of u agree with me when i say that INDEPENDENCE gives u POWER and power makes u less likely to be a TARGET.

PEOPLE PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THIS IS NOT AN INSULT

TO ANYONCE CULTURE!!!

PROGRESSION- When it comes to the chlotes, i respect ur countries customs and belivefs, but also..for me the way i look at it, chlotes are a very importing part of a persons idenity, here in my country Sweden it's one of the human rights, the freedom to dress however u like. Becuse the way u dress reflect ur personality and gives other people an insight about who u are!

shortly FOR ME, THE WAY U DRESS, YOUR CHLOTES AND ACCESSORIES IS A WAY OF EXPRESSING YOURSLELF.

I LIKE TO LOOK AT IT AS A KIND OF ART. AND I CAN ONLY SPEEK FOR MYSELF BUT I WOULD FEEL THAT A PART OF MY IDENTITY AND FREEDOM WOULD BE LOST IF I COULD NOT DESIDE MYSLEF HOW TO DRESS AND WHAT CHLOTES TO WEAR.

I meen that u shoul be critical towards statistict, becuse u can prove almost everything depend on how u use the facts. And besids..no one knows for sure the estimated number on unknownd cases. Therefore u can not say that u know for sure becuse u can prove ur statement with statistics.

A western newspaper published an article regarding a couple who had to make a choice between keeping their car or their newborn baby girl as they could not financially afford to keep both. So, they chose to keep the car and handed the baby over to a foster home, when the father was asked about this, he commented: “She might find a family who would take her in for adoption and give her a better life than what we can offer her.” The mother also assured that they made the right choice! Many parents sell their children in the west … What type of family bond do these people have? Where is mercy? Where is the love? Where is the compassion?
