On one occasion she recounts despite the pleading from allied forces to be able to treat the women in the village, village elders refused. So about 150 women were not allowed to see a doctor if they needed to. While the men, children and donkeys got the care they needed.
I've heard tell of a similar situation where some women needed critical care for injuries sustained in an IED attack and a group of men demanded that the women be left to die instead of receiving treatment from male medics. In that situation the men were told to f*ck off and when they got nasty about it several of them were shot. An action I fully approved of.
I could only imagine bearing witness to that, I think I would of been a tad pissed off with the "males" demanding we let the women die rather than trying to save her life.
Its fucked up thinking, period.
