It really sucks that other countries put so little value on women and their existence. However, if anyone tries to do anything it will be considered "White Man's Burden" all over again and another war like situation may take place.
The other day I was ranting to friends about all the things girls are taught: don't go out by yourself at night, don't do this, don't do that, or it'll be your own fault if you get raped. We tell girls to do all these things from the time they're little but we never say to boys, "DON'T RAPE PEOPLE."
And we're still the "fortunate" ones because even if we are raped, we have a court system that at least gives the illusion of justice (because most rapists are never even charged, let alone convicted) and we're not going to be killed for besmirching our/our families' honor, etc. Never mind that there's still a stigma and the first thing we'd probably be asked is what we did to deserve it. We're still the "lucky" ones. I can't imagine how horrific it must be to be a woman in some of these other places.
