"Instead of acknowledging femicide as a massive problem for society as a whole, politicians from all sides tend to pay attention only when violence against women serves their political aims, namely: blaming foreigners, especially Muslims, for their supposedly misogynist worldviews. Cem Özdemir of the Greens, for instance, the minister of agriculture, wrote an opinion piece for the conservative daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung recently. Özdemir, himself a son of Turkish immigrants if it matters, talked about his 19-year-old daughter’s worries about not being able to point out the misogyny she experiences from refugees and Muslim immigrants because she doesn’t want to be racist" (par. 8-9).

"A massive wave of migration out of India's countryside may also have unintended consequences for women.

She has less flexibility to seek paid work outside the home. When women do migrate to urban areas, they often have safety concerns. They may not know their neighbors as well as they did in their ancestral villages. And if they get jobs, they may have to commute long distances, or at night – on public transit that's often unreliable and unsafe" (para 34-35).
