The World's Most Dangerous Place for Women

[punkfunkdisco]

I watched a programme called 'The World's Most Dangerous Place for Women' yesterday (pretty much right before Doctor Who, it felt...odd) and I wanted to talk about it

I feel ill. This is horrific.

I honestly don't think I could stomach this. That last story won't ever leave my brain.

It's awful isn't it? The programme isn't too graphic, just really heart-breaking. The women she talks too are amazing, though. Sorry, I didn't mean to make anyone feel bad, I just wanted to spread awareness. It kills me that people have no idea about this.

No don't be sorry! It's so important to know, I'll definately look into it more.

Oh wow. And the rubbish that I complain about daily. It really makes me think.

I can't even imagine how you could live like that. How do they find the strength to keep going? God.

I know, right? All of the things I mentioned were stuff that I've complained about in the past 6 months and they just pale into insignificance. I don't think we should beat ourselves up too much though because we have a right to feel how we feel, but it's just important to remember where our grievances fit into the world.

I've no idea; Jude repeatedly says how much awe and admiration she has for the women she meets and those two words describe it perfectly. Their strength is just awe inspiring.

I have been keeping up with this. And there are the fistulas.

It is a truly terrible situation isn't it. The stories you hear are always so terrible; I really can't comprehend how people can be so wicked. And there seems to be no end to it.

Thank you for the link, I shall try and watch.

I have read about this before, but your post still almost made me cry.

You are so right about it putting things in perspective. I don't think many of us realise or think about how lucky we are.
