Two pro-women's rights groups today slammed the police's decision to mark and chain 30 foreign women detained for alleged prostitution two nights earlier, accusing the men in blue of being chauvinists.
In a short but stinging statement, the Good Governance and Gender Equality Society, Penang (3Gs) and the Women's Rights Awareness Association (WRAA) spared no one as they lambasted society's skewed view of women as being both helpless and needy but at the same time the main cause of a laundry list of social ills and said, “The police force, being the law-enforcing body of our society, not only did not show any efforts to dispel such unfair notions about women, but instead reinforces traditional gender inequality by their frequent acts of subjecting women detainees to shame.”
