Women Selling Women

This is a fact that you will rarely see or hear about in the media, that the main culprits are women. On 11th February the United Nations issued a report on human trafficking. The report looked at 155 nations which accounted for over 60 percent of human trafficking convictions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Convictions between September 2007 and July 2008 were looked at during which time 22,500 victims were rescued, mainly from sexual exploitation and forced labor. Antonio Maria Costa is the director of the Vienna-based U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. He said in an interview:

“Women commit crimes against women, and in many cases the victims become the perpetrators, they become the matrons of the business and they make money. It’s like a drug addiction.”

Two of every five countries mentioned in the report had not recorded any

convictions from 2007 to 2008. Costa remarked: “Either these countries are blind to the problem or they are ill-equipped to deal with it. We only see the monster’s tail, how many hundreds of thousands of victims are slaving away in sweatshops, fields, mines, factories, or trapped in domestic servitude? Their numbers will surely swell as the economic crisis deepens the pool of potential victims.”

The investigation into an offer to sell young women’s virginity – the offer appeared on a Russian online discussion board - resulted in an immense scandal. It became known as a result of the investigation that it was young women’s mothers that were selling their daughters’ virginity.

Two adult women learnt from their acquaintances that virginity was highly valued then and that they could receive very good money from wealthy men willing to pay for a sexual experience with a virgin.

The first woman, Maria G. (42), was offered the price of 200,000 rubles ($6,000) for her 16-year-old daughter’s virginity. The other woman, Svetlana K (35), was offered even a bigger price – 400,000 rubles ($12,000), for her 13-year-old daughter’s virginity.

Both mothers confessed later, that they had been first shocked by such offers. They could not even imagine that one night of sex could cost so much. The mother of 16-year-old, named only as Polina, personally brought her daughter to the client for the sake of money.

WOMEN must cease this evil trafficking!

Turkish girl buried alive because she had male friends

This is a good example that sometimes culture and tradition are not always looking the best in people. This was not necessary and extreme, and victims are mainly females or children.The sexism, the ignorance and hate can lead to cases of extreme violence. The excuse that the father and grandfather told to justify their actions was that she brought dishonor to the family. It's wrong and culture doesn't justify their actions,it's immoral,disrespectful and the family should be punished for their actions. Times have change, ideas have change too, women should be treated as human beings with respect and love and no living thing should be tortured and been killed in that way.

Equality Now

I was surfing the web in order to find information for my post and i found a website named Equalty Now. It is a website works to end violence and discrimination against women and girls around the world. EqualityNow concerns about: rape, domestic violence, traffiking of women, female genital mutilation, politcal participation, gender discriminaton, among other things. Equality Now was founded in 1992 to work for the protection and promotion of the human rights of women around the world. Equality Now shows the world violence and discrimination against women and mobilizes international action to support their efforts to stop these human rights abuses.They distribute information about human rigts violations, take actiosn to protest those violations and bring public attention. This asosiation is callng for justice and equality for women.

I think this asosiation rocks Women su be treated with respect like men are treated. we have the same rights as them and our rights should be respected.

In the website i also read some this:
