The finger test? In AZ rape and beatings are considered the fault of the woman and as such both violations happen frequently and are largely unreported. Laws will do little, I think, (on the ground level in poor communities) unless the laws benefit someone higher up who stands to profit from the enforcement.
If this was NY Fashion week it might be considered chic, but in this case it’s simply awful when women and girls must hide their humanity to be safe.
Next generation of ladies will be tough as hell if they can make it to adulthood.

A very informative piece about some of the issues/challenges women face in Azerbaijan.
