prism: 'nip it in the bud themselves'? Isn't that kind of missing the point?

I think too often that's what happens: it's easier to tell women to cover up and be modest, and then if something happens, well oh well, it's their fault.

I think this is a bigger problem in this region because there are still laws and customs that legally put the blame on women: whether it's honour killings, a lack of legal action against sexual violence and domestic violence, and as I said before laws that force women into marrying their abusers, not to mention the huge culture of shame around it that leads to suicides. . .In many other countries these things may still happen, but the laws are changing, and there is an effort to stop it. This part of the world, on the other hand, is doing the opposite.
