[QUOTE]Originally posted by vwwvv: [QB] [QUOTE]Bullcrap, still much IS covered, still much is not reported due to an inflicted sense of shame and yes there are many victims who are threatened with violence and death for reporting it or even allowing someone to see or hear about it.[/QUOTE]They may be threatened by violence from their abusers, but they know they can fearlessly go to a police station and report the crime. You can't do that in Muslim countries. Just a while ago, a Saudi judge sentenced a pregnant gang-rape victim to 100 lashes. "Almost half of married Egyptian women have been physically abused by their husbands, a study by the government statistics centre said on Wednesday. The study by CAPMAS said that 47 percent of women between the ages of 15 and 49 reported being victims of domestic violence and seven percent said a spouse raped them, state news agency MENA reported. Domestic violence is punishable under Egyptian law, [b]but police are reluctant to intervene in something that is considered a private matter[/b], said an Egyptian women's rights activist. "If a woman complains, it would be considered a crime. But if she doesn't, the husband won't be punished," Nahed Abu el-Qumsan, head of the Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights, told AFP. The study was released to coincide with the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. A report by the World Health Organisation (WHO) published in April said that violence by men against spouses routinely resulted in troubled or aborted pregnancies, chronic pain and depression. Women who had been physically or sexually abused were three times likelier to have had suicidal thoughts, and four times likelier to have attempted at least once to take their own lives, the study said. http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=081125152923.6tli7g7e&show_article=1 An Overview of Domestic Violence Against Women in Rural Egypt Women in Egypt face a myriad of problems and inequities, and domestic violence is one of the most serious. In Egypt today, gender oppression and discrimination is widespread, and male supremacy is the accepted norm. Such inequalities lay the foundation for domestic violence and exploitation of women. Despite successes in raising awareness and setting new standards for the treatment of women, very little has actually changed in the lives of most women in Egypt and violence remains a fact of life which is rarely, if ever, discussed. This paper summarizes our research examining the extent of domestic violence in rural Egypt, the various forms it takes, it’s causes, and consequences. The aim of this research is to explore the impact of Egyptian culture, and socialization, on women\'s submission to domestic violence. Only by understanding the various dimensions of the Egyptian culture that normalize violence against women, can we develop programs and interventions to empower women to refuse and resist this violence. http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p_mla_apa_research_citation/0/2/0/2/8/p20284_index.html [/QB][/QUOTE]
