I choose to talk about the issue of misogyny, which means the hatred of women. This issue is all around world to some extent but the majority of the population that it effects is the muslim population in the middle east. In many societies the Muslim law deems the women inferior to men. Women are killed in what is called honor killings or they would have their genitals cut, often they are kept out of school and the workplace. Women are openly beaten by their husbands if they misbehave, and if they ever show skin in public they are sometimes raped. A woman always gets less than a man. In court her testimony is half that of a man, and a woman inherits a lot less than a man would.
One example of this issue is when a husband made his wife prostitute herself just so he could feed his opium addiction. A lot of this issue came from the Koran where it specifically said that women were inferior, and they believe the Koran is the word straight from god. When in other religions like christiany or judiasm they overlook stuff like that, that is said.
Today there are some Muslims starting to try and get more equality for women but it is not working all that well, they are still treated like property, and the government they have accepts that and with everything else without the government really trying to change things it will most likely stay the way it is.
