Warrior of Light Posted November 24, 2005 Flipmode, Its a known fact that domestic violence is the most common form of violence women get involved with. Why because most of the time its their spouse, partner, ex-s, and sometimes brothers and children who hurt these women either physically or verbally. The biggest problem is the women do not react to it, until its too late due to fear and not wanting to hurt their dears lives. Thus you can even find cases because the moteher was victimised she later victimises her children, who are weaker than her. Its a terrible circle. Needs to be changed. My concern is how to help these women, every new day we read reports and new statistics come up. And Yet more women are being "Violated" Im trying to download the PDF file as the statistics seem very high on the BBC report. So far what I know is in earlier researches cultural norms were not taken into consideration. It is an essential part to be considered when we say someone is being abused/victimised. If Im to give an example, you may see a Nigerian woman being shouted at by her husband to and fro and she does the same. In my point of view the shouting is abuse because of my cultural upbringing. But if you sit and learn the norms of that culture you notice that that is the way the communicate. But everyone is talking about 'The Fate of a muslim woman'..see that propaganda I dont see the propaganda, can you elaborate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RendezVous Posted November 24, 2005 >>>>>They normally talk about Muslim women being harrased and they never have time for theirs. It was interesting to note BBC's commentary encompassing all people of the world and not just muslim countries.. do u c any picture now.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Castro Posted November 24, 2005 ^ It's not Islam. It's the culture. And in other news, fresh series of bombings in Iraq. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SeeKer Posted November 24, 2005 ^^^ Culture and a patriarchal society where what the man says goes. On the other hand I agree that for a religion that says it protects its womenfolk there is not much support and resources available for battered women.

Socod_badne Posted November 25, 2005 Originally posted by The Flipmode..: But everyone is talking about 'The Fate of a muslim woman'..see that propaganda There is NO propaganda, you're just imagining one. I rather have ppl talk about the 'fate of muslim woman' then not. What possible harm may come from shining the spotlight on the state of muslim women? IMO, it is the best defense against abuse.

Castro Posted November 26, 2005 Originally posted by The Flipmode..: No man enough would aspire to beat his wife..a lovely wife that is... So if the wife is not "lovely" she should be beaten? Surely that's not what you meant. Now smile. Then raise both your arms. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alle-ubaahne Posted November 26, 2005 ^^Your idealogies, practically speaking, are prone to engage with such activities of beating women only becase we've observed what the likes in your category had done to women! A recent research published in the Washington Post says that, did you read, abti? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
