Sensitivity in writing about violence against women. By Ghazah Abbasi

By : Ghazah Abbasi

Dear Sir or Madam, This is with reference to an article that was recently published on your website 'Christian Woman Kidnapped and Gang Raped by Muslim Men in Punjab province of Pakistan'. While it is important to make known the atrocities that Christian women in Pakistan experience, I would beseech you to please disseminate information about the same in a manner that is not disrespectful to the women in question. The description of the incident in this particular article is rather pornographic, given the use of the phrases 'for the whole night of [date]' and especially 'quenched the lust turn by turn'. Writing in English on the internet, is an incredibly powerful enterprise and I would ask you to please wield that power responsibly and to always keep in mind the goal of writing about violence against women, which should be to resist that violence. If we start writing about rape in a way that is pornographic, we betray a pleasure in the violence that the woman has suffered and we become complicit in a system that uses physical and sexual violence to marginalize women. Sincerely, Ghazah Abbasi http://www.pakistanchristianpost.com/headlinenewsd.php?hnewsid=2830
