A crash course in changing the world.
I chose to write about an article from February of 2015 about gender-based violence in Somalia. As everyone knows, many areas of the Islamic world have very backwards views as to how to deal with cases of rape. The article said that in Somalia, many victims are forced to marry their attackers. In many other areas, the woman can be punished for having extramarital congress because they see it as her fault for having tempted the man. This is a horrible way to treat these women who have already been through so much. The UN Development teams are attempting to change these cultures and to help these victims, but there is still much to accomplish to end these tragedies.
