Why is it so acceptable for women to be treated this way, if this was a hate crime against a race or religion people would be up in arms but because it’s a female issue nobody seems to take much notice

Just awful. Hardly any one in this side of the planet will care though.

I know, no one seems to stand up for these women 😞 it’s heartbreaking

Nothing in that article suggests that people in general "find it so acceptible" - either in Bangladesh or here. As for it not being major news in the UK - so what? What will make a difference is how it's reported and acted on in Bangladesh. Outrage in Europe is neither here nor there.

Did you even read the article? Where are you getting the "no-one seems to stand up for these women from?

I think women in general have terrible hate crimes against them across the world and nothing is done but if it’s a hate crime against religion or race people do seem to get more vocal and upset by it.

I did read the article and the police should have done more and looked after her before she was burnt alive
