Sex sells, says Lee Taylor, and that is something many brands, caught up in the joyless theatre of modern virtue-signalling, could well stand to relearn.

Saudi Arabian Anti-Abuse Campaign.

category international | crime and justice | other press author Saturday November 24, 2007 11:09author by Chris Murray Report this post to the editors

From: P.C.W.E.S.R/Update on the 16 Day Campaign.


To mark the 16 day Against Violence Campaign and to collate varied threads on the newswire
with regard to anti-violence in other cultures and In this country, I am publishing the Campaign
Letter from The Progressive Centre for Women Equalisation Studies and Research.
http://www.pcwesr.org

So far in Ireland Women's Aid have been on the airwaves and a small campaign has
stood outside the Dail to commerorate the 137 murdered women: victims of Domestic
Abuse. the families have not received either satisfactory answers nor feel that the issues
raised are being adequately addressed.

This P.C.W.E.S.R communication was forwarded to me this morning and all who received it
agreed to put it on their lists:

"The P.C.W.E.S.R strongly object to the lawsuit against a young woman resulting in a
sentencing of 200 lashings and six months in prison after having been subjected to gang
rape. The woman is a victim of a totally destructive human rights violation excercised by the
Saudi Arabian Society on top of the violation of being raped".

In Ireland the response by http://www.justice.ie was (to say the least) lukewarm.
Ex-Minister Mc Dowell set up the COSC service which had problems from the outset
and this morning's radio are covering lack of proper refuge infrastructure in this country.
when violence is pushed down the political agenda it becomes both commonplace
and acceptable. There are still many women missing and no proper missing
person's helpline. Addressing violence against women is as important as listening
to the issues and no society is devoid of failing to deal with the problems, which are
inadequately funded and mostly ignored.

There was a recent case of a Saudi woman travelling in a car with a male friend. A group of men found them and gang raped both her and her male companion because they were not related. The Saudi justice system then sentenced her and her male companion to be flogged as further punishment.

Those amongst us who have met with victims of violence and war do not see the religion,
the politics or the ideology but instead look at the person. It is a wrong to label for convenience
a situation that needs exposure and not a label.

It is a misrepresentation of the situation in Saudi to suggest it is women who are the greatest victims of the Saud Regime. The most abused group by far are immigrant workers followed closely by anyone who disagrees with the rulers.

It would also be inaccurate to suggest this is an Islamic abuse. Islam commands Muslims treat fellow muslims well but this is not the case with the Saudi regime. They are not Islamic and are just a bunch of greedy pigs who like their luxury and selfishness. Their great friends in the US and Europe encourage them and are more their brothers and sisters than their fellow muslims.
