Them men in Pakistan is straight up nasty towards their women, wtf is the point of wearing the veil and trying to keep men from disrespecting them IF they still do that shit..?..Why throw acid, why dont they kill the broads…gotta look this up now.
DAMN THIS FUCK UP HOW THEY LET THESE FUCKERS DO THIS TO FEMALES SMH
mayne they got fuck up laws
this is just insane my heart really goes out to the women in pakistan..these are the things we dont see that make you cherish your life and freedom..the freedom to marry..the freedom to live..this is just sick..
Is there some way these women can be supported? I imagine this is the tip of the iceberg. It breaks my heart seeing these beautiful women suffering so much. Tell them they are still beautiful.
It truly disgusts me to think that there are women that are experiencing supression to this degree in this day and age. It is the 20th century, these women need to stand up for themselves and let it be known that they have rights as human beings to make their own decisions and not be mutilated because of it. The men of Pakistan are complete and utter monsters for doing this to the beautiful women of their country. They try to justify this with calling it tradition and a matter of respect, what kind of respect can you have for your heritage, country and people when you have the nerve to do this to your women. I truly hope the women of Pakistan and other countries that suffer from the same supression, find relief of these cowrardly ways.
i feel really bad for those woman but the head line is wrong pakistanians are not arabs !!!!
