2. I agree with you completely

I have long wanted sanctions against countries that simply don't try do stop, or do enough to stop horrific treatment of women and girls.

God, I hope no one chimes in demanding false equivalency with the Western world, since women do get raped in Western nations as well. We all know what reality is on this subject, no country is perfect, but there are countries where not enough is being done to counter the ingrained attitudes regarding women as possessions and not people. These countries should not be let off the hook.
