Editor's Notes
- India 68 percent of women in the world's second largest nation suffer from some sort of domestic violence Dated traditions also attempt to discourage giving birth to daughters, and 300 to 600 thousand pregnancies with female fetuses are terminated each year, according to The Lancet. Yemen The World Economic Forum (WEF)'s annual Gender Gap Report ranked the small Middle Eastern nation of Yemen as the worst for women out of the 136 countries listed. Access to education for girls is severely limited, as many are married before they reach their eighteenth birthday, leaving the female literacy rate at a dismal 35 percent. Iraq Contrary to what many may believe, the Iraq war didn't improve the lives of Iraqi women. The Iraqi prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki, has yet to appoint a woman to a senior government role. That's not the only field where women are suffering. Over the past thirty years, the number of women in the workforce has severely depleted. And the problem isn't just at work: Religious leaders regulate women's treatment at home and in marriage, not governmental laws. Pakistan Pakistan isn't the worst place in the world to be a woman—barely. The WEF ranked this nation second from last (before Yemen) on their Gender Gap Report. Nepal Peru 61 percent of women have been victims of physical abuse. Even more specifically, 52 percent of Peruvian women have been slapped by their partner, according to the World Health Organization. Turkey Sudan Women's rights in Sudan have been making headlines recently since Mariam Yahya Ibrahim was imprisoned to wait for her impending execution. Her crime? Marrying a Christian man and refusing to agree to be a follower of her father's religion: Islam. This extreme situation may seem unbelievable, but it is a reality in Sudan, where religious freedoms seriously limit citizens. Afghanistan Afghan women have been thrown in jail for running away from an abusive partner or being forced into prostitution The Democratic Republic of Congo. Rape and sexual assault are commonplace in soldiers' efforts to intimidate and threaten communities.
- Honor killings- when women are put to death for an act that is perceived as bringing shame to their families If a bride cannot meet the financial demand of her dowry, she is often subject to torture, harassment and death by the groom's family.
- Starting to date 15.5 million U.S. children come from families with domestic violence
- -Talk about these issues- we have to quit keeping them quiet because they are uncomfortable to talk about -When you see/hear someone using abusive behaviors, harassing their BF/GF, constantly texting, anything– say something! -Be a role model to our siblings -ANY career can make these issues important education, justice studies, psychology, counseling, leadership (HR domestic violence issues)
