BANGLADESH: Acid as a common weapon against women

Jilted Bangladesh men are using acid against women who dare to say no. Acid has become a common weapon against women in this country, where destroying a girls face appears an acceptable way to get even.

The police say 180 women were burnt in attacks with sulfuric and hydrochloric acid last year alone. The offenders throw acid to destroy the faces of women and shatter their dreams for not allowing the criminals to abuse them physically, or for the women's inability to bring handsome dowry from their parents.

SUDAN: Five Year Girls Do Sex before it knowing

A five year old Sudanese girl lies on a bed as she undergoes the procedure known as female genital mutilation. In this procedure, performed without anaesthesia, a girl's external sexual organs are partially or totally cut away. Female Genital Mutilation has been performed on 82 per cent of Sudanese women.

Up to 114 million girls and women in more than 30 countries have been subjected to female genital mutilation.

It is commonly attributed to religious edict.

It is estimated that untrained traditional birth attendants perform two thirds of the procedures. They typically have limited knowledge of health and hygiene and often use inadequately cleaned traditional instruments. Side effects include trauma, bleeding and haemorrhage; pain, stress and shock; infections (which can be fatal); painful and difficult sexual relations; obstructed labor and difficult childbirth; and psychological trauma.

The practice was declared illegal in the Sudan in 1941, but that did little to stop it. About 90 per cent of northern Sudanese women have had it done.

Human Trafficking: Women and Children

The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children (also referred to as the Palermo Protocol) is a protocol to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and defines human trafficking as the "recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation."
