It's still a crime - just like child abuse, child sexual exploitation, trafficking and any other abuse. Maybe for some audiences, the more holistic human rights approach works better; and for others, the appeal to the rights of an individual. The human rights approach seems more basic and at the same time, embraces the larger cultural goal for us all. We are all human beings, deserving of respect.

I've talked to so many women from around the world and we in the united states here have the best care and advocate services from what they tell me. Now as far as making it a human rights issue, gosh I've been supporting and helping people for twenty years and one of our basis is that we are human beings not property owned. I guess I'm just taken back with the short piece here because we've all done better for women here then any where else I've talked to.
