The government has betrayed asian women (uk, comment) — by Marius Hardut — last modified 2006-06-30 06:28

There are so many more reasons to consider this a badly executed consultation and decision. Many of the respondents felt naming and shaming of coercive parents would lead to communities being "unfairly labelled" and creating a negative stereotype. Such daft responses are not surprising once you consider that most of those opposed were middle-aged men considered to be our "community representatives". How can this negative stereotyping get any worse when honour killings litter the media? Should the kidnapped and run-away victims be gagged if they want to speak out? Perhaps most significantly this lost opportunity has turned a blind eye towards parent-sanctioned forced rape.

Some argue the collapse of the Soviet Union brought long-latent racism to the surface, by opening the door to uncontrolled migration, economic collapse, and the entrenched conflict in Chechnya.
