Women under oppression

Reality of women under oppression:

Some argue that freedom in the West brings the dignity of women. If so, what dignity has it brought the 1 in 4 women who are victims of domestic violence in the UK; what respect did it bring to the 2 women killed each week in Britain by their partners or husband; what dignity has it brought to the 28 million women battered by their husband or partner in the US – the Land of freedom where a woman is beaten every 9 seconds and where battery is the single major cause of injury to women between the ages of 15-44 – more than car accidents, mugging, and rape combined.

If freedom has brought dignity to the woman, then why have 1 in 20 women been raped in the UK; and why is a woman sexually assaulted every 2 and ½ minutes in the US according to the US justice department? What has freedom brought to the 1000’s of women who face sexual harassment in the workplace in Western societies – 50% of women in the UK according to an Equal opportunity commission report in 2000.

The same West does propaganda against the Muslims and specifically Afghan Taliban, labeling them as oppressors of women. And the same West forgets the case of British Female Journalist Yvonne Riddley who embraced Islam while under captivity of Afghan Taliban after being inspired by their noble character. Where does it happen that a prisoner embraces the religion of his/her oppressor (if he/she is really an oppressor)?
