A question: Does this anger you?
What do u think of this injustice? Your opinion?
I came across this article a few days ago and it made my blood boil not just as a woman but because I am HUMAN. Read on…
"Imagine you are a woman in a remote corner of Kurdistan, where seldom if ever a doctor loses its way. Anyhow you would not have the financial opportunities to pay a medical treatment. And all of a sudden they come with three ambulances, telling you something about indispensable health measures in a language you do not have a command of. You are taken to a hospital in the next city, where actions are carried out on you, which you cannot understand and you feel ashamed to talk about. And after months you come to find that you can’t have children anymore…
At least 40 women from the village Özekli, 60 kilometres from Diyarbakir in Kurdistan-Turkey, have had to suffer this treatment, says the president of the women`s commission of the Bar Association of Diyarbakir, Meral Danis, who publicised this case during a symposium on “Violence against women and medicine. Sterilisation measures against Kurdish Women were already carried out in the middle 90’s, as the Turkish Security Council stated that the population growth of the Kurdish part of the population would present a danger for Turkey. Consequently, a packet of measures for population control was decided upon to counteract this development. At that time, not only contraception was enforced by hormonal injections, but also infertility was affected by giving an overdose of these hormones. Ever since, several cases have become known time and again. Such measures amount to fascistic methods of population control Vis a Vis the Kurdish part of the population of Turkey, breaches of human rights and medical ethics as well as a form of torture directed against the physical and psychological integrity of Kurdish women.
As the Kurdish Women Peace Office we condemn these fascistic attacks on the rights of women. Diyarbakir-based NGOs such as the Women’s` Centre Selis, the Human Rights Association IHD, the Chamber of physicians and the Bar Association are conducting further investigations about this special kind of human rights violations. We need your help in order to support their work and put an immediate end to these measures"

Your opinion? Thank you
This has got nothing to do with religion.
Its ethnic genocide. Turkish ppl are trying to wipe out the Kurds.
