You know, the world is filled with misogynistic people who think that women should follow all the ridiculous rules made by them without uttering a single word. And if a woman tries to disobey them, they use violence as an option to silence and suppress them. A similar incident took place in Iraq where police arrested 16 men for attacking a teenage girl for dressing immodestly at a bike racing event in Sulaimani city. This is the new low, to be honest!
Recently, a video which is going viral on the internet has left all of us in shock. In Iraq’s Sulaimani city, a group of men attacked a 17-year-old girl for dressing immodestly. The men present at the event hurled abuses at her and called her a wh**re as she was apparently distracting the drivers by wearing indecent clothes at the racing event. According to the reports, the participants of the race have been bringing girls along with them. On the day of the attack, it was decided that girls will not be allowed at the event but the teenage girl arrived there. However, it is not clear whether the girl deliberately arrived at the event or she was unaware of the decision.
Fortunately, the teenage girl managed to escape the spot but the man who helped her get away was reportedly stabbed. Sulaimani Police have arrested 16 men in this case.
In a series of tweets, a local NGO mentioned that the girl had attended several racing events, but the men claimed that women should not be allowed at such events because they will attract all the attention. If people are getting distracted by minor girls or women’s clothing, then there’s something wrong with them.
