Marilyn Monroe once said: “Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world.” Many people don’t believe this quote because they believe that women are the inferior race and down play women’s worth with violate tactics like, domestic violence, rape, incest, pornography, forced prostitution (sex trade), so they can never be as great as they are meant to be. America should intervene and help women who rights aren’t being protected because if no one takes a stand them.
Countries like, Afghanistan, Iraq, Guatemala,Nepal, Saudi Arabia,Pakistan and many others violating women right is a social norm and neglecting to protect their rights is too.The average Afghan girl will live to only 45. More than half of all afghan women are forced into marriage before 16. Domestic violence is so common in this country that 87% of women in this country experienced it. Women are often forced into prostitution. Afghanistan is the only country in which the female suicide rate is higher than that of males.The U.S.-led invasion to "liberate" Iraq from Saddam Hussein has imprisoned women and use violence that targets women and girls. Parents fear risking kidnapping and rape for their sending girls to school. Women who once went out to work stay home. Meanwhile, more than 1millions more aren't ably to work to earn enough money to eat. In Guatemala, female underclass face domestic violence, rape and the second-highest rate of HIV/AIDS. An epidemic of gruesome unsolved murders has left hundreds of women dead, some of their bodies left with hate messages. Women in Nepal are forced into early marriage and suffer from childbirth exhaust, 1 out of every 24 woke will die during pregnancy or childbirth. Daughters who aren't married off may be sold to traffickers before they reach their teens. Widows face extreme abuse and discrimination if they're labelled bokshi, meaning witches. In Saudi Arabia, women are treated as lifelong dependents, under the guardianship of husband or male relative. Deprived of the right to drive a car, walk out the house alone or speak to men publicly, they are confined to strict lives. In Pakistan, women are gang-raped as punishment for men's crimes, which is a women doing things that are stereotyped as a "male position". Killing women in this country is more of widespread, because of religious extremism is targeting female politicians, human rights workers and lawyers.
Right is right and wrong is wrong and treating someone harshly because of their gender should always be wrong. In many Countries being female is a reason to reason to be oppressed, but what makes men better than men?
