Yes, thank you for the opportunity.
With each layer there is an extra added pressure and repression that you face. I'll go with the example of Afghanistan because that's what I know more about. In Afghanistan, if you are a man, but from a different ethnicity, and you are protesting or there is an accusation, you face different treatment. If you're a woman, it changes the whole dynamic. You are repressed beyond words.
There was a question about how differently women are treated. Madam Hassan has replied to that. We are from similar regions. There are definitely social and family pressures. Even treatment by the hand of the government is very different. We have had several cases of having women transferred to male jails, men's jails, and being held there. They have been sexually violated while in prison. All these things are basically added layers to the oppression they face.
