Kanelli- stats on paedophillia and rape are available on the web.
Honour killings are a problem in Pakistan etc. Domestic violence is an issue in many countries too. I read that
My point is that we should check to see in which countries/cultures are there more crimes against women.
A good site to start from is :
http://www.endabuse.org/resources/facts/
Another good report is:
http://www.un.org/rights/dpi1772e.htm
This contains the amazing stat that in the US a woman is raped every 6 minutes. It also documents abuses against women in other countries.
Paedophillia being a 'white man's disease' is something I've read. The fun tourism for young boys and girls in places like Sri Lanka and South America and Phillipines is primarily by white men according to the reports.
The child abuse by Catholic priests around the world was also confined to anglo-saxons from what I have read.

Shafique, hate to say it but you are losing credibiility, as far as I am concerned anyway, with the above quote of yours. Not your best work I suppose.
You have totally missed and ignored my point that while someone may have quoted statistics about the ""evil-west" regarding se.x abuse of women, these statistics exists because women are not afraid to report them. For example, you quote the statistic that a woman is raped every six minutes in the USA and make reference to the UN report which thanks to your invitation I have read.
Apparently you conveniently did not read or did not recall the following quote from the same report:
"In the Middle East and Persian Gulf region, there are an estimated 1.2 million women, mainly Asians, who are employed as domestic servants. According to the independent human rights group Middle East Watch, female migrant workers in Kuwait often suffer beatings and sexual assaults at the hands of their employers.
The police are often of little help. In many cases, women who report being raped by their employers are sent back to the employer -- or are even assaulted at the police station.
Working conditions are often appalling, and employers prevent women from escaping by seizing their passports or identity papers."
Unless and until every woman is not affraid to report s.ex crimes, physical abuse, etc. any comparison to statistics in the 'evil-west" are meaningles. Of course it does not mean that the problem does not exist in the "evil-west" but one can't leap to the conclusion that it does not exist elsewhere (or rather "one should not leap..").
With respect the other report that you invited us to read I note the following quote:
*"Estimates range from 960,000 incidents of violence against a current or former spouse, boyfriend, or girlfriend per year to three million women who are physically abused by their husband or boyfriend per year.
Around the world, at least one in every three women has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused during her lifetime.Nearly one-third of American women (31 percent) report being physically or sexually abused by a husband or boyfriend at some point in their lives, according to a 1998 Commonwealth Fund survey.
Nearly 25 percent of American women report being raped and/or physically assaulted by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some time in their lifetime, according to the National Violence Against Women Survey, conducted from November 1995 to May 1996"*
Once again, the operative word is "report" which is the only way that meaninful statistis could be developed. I suppose if no one reports rape or s.ex abuse then it must not exist [maybe the "evil-west" should start taking reports from women and action upon them in order to have a "clean" record 🙄 ]. It's a bit like saying that if I don't report my income then I should not have to pay taxes (because clearly "income" does not exist in my household) 🙄
I rest my case ❗
Now the racial comments 😮 😮
