that 11-year-old Texan girl who got raped by 18 men while the New York Times said she “dressed older than her age.” (x)

Reyhaneh Jabari, an Iranian woman who was tortured in jail then hanged after killing the man who was going to rape her. (x)

Nojood Al-Ali from Yemen who got divorced when she was 10. (x)

the 16-year-old girl from Ohio who got raped

and filmed at a party by 2 boys, while CNN reporters talked about the bright futures of the rapists as athletes. (x)

the 94 women in Jordan who were legally married to their rapists, only in 2014. (x)

the 8-year-old girl who was married to a man 5 times her age, and died on the day of her wedding because she suffered from bleeding and

uterine rupture after intercourse. (x) 

the 25 Palestinian women who were killed by either their brother or father, in order to “protect their honor” only in 2013. (x)

the 99% of Egyptian women and 90% of Yemeni women who have experienced sexual harassment (x) (x)
