Tajikistan's Women: A Bitter Family Affair

After the collapse of the Soviet Union Tajikistan has seen a trend toward the reinforcement of traditional family values. According to Andrea Strasser-Camagni, Amnesty Internationals Tajikistan expert, these values see women treated as servants, or as the in-laws family property and lead to tragic outcomes, including suicide as a way of escape.

Featuring interviews with survivors of domestic violence and womens rights activists, the video explores the physical, psychological and sexual abuse that women face at the hands of their husbands, partners and other family members.

the problem with most illiterate MUSLIM countries is that they get confused with tradition and religion. they believe women should be at home and second rate citizens..this is not what Islam states it only tradition!!.

its same in Pakistan India and even UK> families don't want to follow religion but only there pride in tradition.

Девочка в таджикской семье всегда второстепеггый человек - Дура ты, идиотка,... вот оно ваше мышление.

Domestic violence is only a crime to western eyes. Isn't that the logical conclusion to the moral relativism of Islam vs the west? AI's moral relativism undercuts their own attempt to impose their values on Islamic culture around the world. Who are they to impose their values on the Tajik's? They are foreign occupiers and have no authority moral or otherwise.

who is we? aren't you sounding too pompous for whichever twerp you are? if you think that by we you mean the west, then you should realize that amnesty international doesn't work for them either, humanitarian intervention is as much a colonial project as your white ass has been. besides the women always took care of themselves, so fuck off and shed your crocodile tears somewhere else.
