Was watching this documentary about rape in Bangladesh: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XY7QOlqirns it contains some  content (a dead body)It inspired me to look up some maps about women's security around the world, I thought I would share some of them:      All maps are from here: http://womanstats.org/newmapspage.html I find it sad that so many women the world over are not safe.

Taking the official statistics is worthless in countries where there is a "strong cultural barrier to report rape". (I also would be interested in hearing what these barriers are supposed to be in Germany)

(I also would be interested in hearing what these barriers are supposed to be in Germany) This indeed. They probably need to round these up by orders of magnitude, even though that introduces a whole host of other problems (see: the arguments about how many people lived in pre-Colombian America).

Might be that they don't have any specific data for rape-cases in those countries, if we look at this map here it tells a different story:  I don't get why they're not greyed out if that the case. Kamrat fucked around with this message at 23:44 on Nov 22, 2014 |

For those who are curious, that map is based on this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_former_European_colonies I had never heard of the failed attempt to colonize the Nicobar Islands by Austria. Edit: Yeah, they're counting Magna Graecia, which is kind of dumb.

The site claims it was based on this list, which indeed lists Magna Graecia (why the Latin name and not Megale Hellas?).

A better map would be by population or landmass. "Number of colonies" doesn't say a whole lot. Also is the colony counted as Austria's actually Austria-Hungary or what?

I can't speak about Bosnia, but there was a civil war in Cote d'Ivoire until not that long ago and the eastern parts of the DRC are where the worse conflict since WW2 took place. It's probably that no reliable data is available as a results of those conflicts.

A couple of pages late but I would be very interested in reading these primary sources. Either post them here or I can try to get my e-mail to you somehow. No need to  anything, if they're publicly available a link would be great, if not just give me the name of the report/article/book and I'll see if I have access to it.

It's probably that no reliable data is available as a results of those conflicts. It's a map of laws. Even if the conflicts preclude accurate measurement of what's happening on the ground, they shouldn't preclude looking up the definition of "rape" in the Bosnian criminal code.

Also find it odd that French Guiana (an integral part of France and so under the same laws as mainland France) and Puerto Rico are also shaded grey. Possibly also some other Caribbean islands, but I cant tell.

Bosnia has a weak central government that has to include members from the three major ethnic groups committee-style at all levels. Bosnia also lost a lawsuit in which a Roma and a Jewish politician sued for discrimination, because the law explicitly bars minorities for the highest office, but failed to implement the judgment. Then you have the so called entities, with Republic of Srpska in the Serb majority part and the Federation in the Bosniak and Croat parts. They have their own sets of prime ministers, parliaments and cabinets. Furthermore, the entities are divided into cantons, with their own governments et cetera. The country is slightly smaller than West Virginia and inhabited by less than 4 million people. It is the biggest unsolvable problem of Europe. All of the levels of government are faboulosly corrupt and disorganized. So try and guess why there are no data on rape from Bosnia. e: typos Take the plunge!

SaltyJesus posted:I've heard that the Bosnian Croats aren't too happy they got talked into the Federation and there's been talk of a "third entity". Is this a representative opinion or mostly a vocal minority / fringe thing? It's an opinion that a majority of Bosnian Croats share with a growing number of Croatians. I think it's a consequence of the total paralysis of the system I mentioned earlier. Unemployment is over 50 percent, there are hungry children living a stone's throw from the EU border, no wonder people want some kind of change. Personally I support the division of Bosnia into three states. I also think that Serbia should foot the bill for the Serb part, Croatia for the Croat part and the Dutch should take care of the Bosniak part.
