Still
think religion has nothing to do with savage, outdated and immoral
punishments? This form of punishment is stated in religious scripture.
There is no denying this punishment came directly from a religious
source, and perpetuated by religious
people. Imagine a world where people based their judgement on logic and
reason, and not what an old book told them to do.
15-year-old rape survivor has been sentenced to be whipped 100 times in public.
The girl's stepfather is accused of raping her for years and murdering the baby she bore. Now the court says she must be flogged for “sex outside marriage”. President Waheed of the Maldives is already feeling global pressure on this, and we can force him to save this girl and change the law to spare other victims this cruel fate. This is how we can end the war on women – by standing up every time an outrage like this happens.
