The problem of Femicide in the world

[graciew]

You need but too ask. (except for Polish I do well with those other languages).

No problem. It was quick to translate. We are supposed to use English here at CAF with each other,that is why I translated it.
Your Spanish is perfect!

That is it!

there’s a difference between a crime of passion and simply killing someone because they’re female–like in some Asian countries where parents leave their daughters out to die.

bokbok

Or parents whose daughters are getting married are subjected to extortionate demands in regard to paying dowry to the husband and, in some cases, the women killed if the dowry is deemed to be inadequate.

Not to mention so-called honour killings where women (and it is very disproportionately women) are killed for alleged sexual impropriety including being the victim of rape.

hehe no it isn’t, and you know it !! I can understand myself beautifully with the Galicians and the Catalans and the Andaluz, but the Madrileños are impossible to understand. My autonomous writing needs more practice. I did read Pe.Joaquin Maria Alonso and his style of Spanish was very much to my liking.

Sadly you are right @LilyM but a meaningful analyses of such sad phenomenon would have us place reservation on each of your sentences.

Or parents whose daughters … paying dowry to the husband

The cases I met, especially of the Indian sub-continent, where marriages are arranged and dowry is payed, were actually happy marriages. There are also those other very sad cases, but that is not always the case. I follow one youtuber in China who said the Chinese ladies will abandon their husband over their family with relative ease, and then he went on to explain the intricate cultural reasoning - it is not without if’s and but’s.

(and it is very disproportionately women)

Regarding the honor killings, I find them absolutely deplorable and especially in some countries. But, here an interesting fact comes into play: those countries have murder rates with a 1:9 or 1:8 gender disproportion. If, you go to the developed countries with the lowest murder rates the ratio evens out to around 1:1.

There are cultures where taking any physical action against a woman is absolutely unthinkable - where the motif of honor is to never touch a woman under any circumstance. And indeed, in a way, that instinct to not hurt a woman is present, and I think those countries with the highest murder rates and the most disproportionate ratio are not deprived of the instinct that a woman should not be hurt - hence the ratio. And that much is noteworthy, that despite all the evil there is still good in the human heart. [I have been violently threatened by nationals of those countries for no reason whatsoever, for futile motives and ridiculous pretexts.]
