Too bad women are getting raped and beaten while trying to help. Just like in the US Armed services women will always be treated poorly.

@BeaSmith2010 Are you referring to that 20/20 piece? That's an extreme case and nowhere near the norm for a typical female Peace Corps Volunteer. Do female volunteers have to be more aware than male volunteers, sure - but the same thing could be said of a female in the states. Let's not blame Peace Corps for how women are treated globally (including the States).

@BeaSmith2010 that is why I wrote "woemen will always be treated poorly."

And I do blame the Peace Corps for not helping the women who get hurt while working for them. Just as I blame the USAS for not helping the women who get hurt while in active duty. The United States of America will always treat women like they treat all minorities...poorly.
