They both have a recognizable profile of imprisonment, detention, enforced isolation, extreme physical and mental abuse and may end in death. Women are raped, beaten, burned, deprived of sleep, food and human contact. It's purpose is to break us. What one learns in order to survive, can make living later unbearable, causing post-traumatic stress even suicide years later. Why is it all the same things happen in Amnesty International reports and accounts of torture as do in women's homes across America. Why is it the constant level of abuse of women acceptable and/or even ignored? Torture is reserved for men and has the dignity of politics. Torture should not be limited to acts by the state, state is not all there is to power. It's an unjust power that subjects one half of the human race against the other. Will women ever be given amnesty?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3597448872621332882.post-26500644501630922762009-07-18T17:48:52.052-04:002009-07-18T17:48:52.052-04:00It is so similar here in Australia.
