(<a href="http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/nov1999/sasa-n29.shtml" target="_blank">http://www.wsws.org/articles/1999/nov1999/sasa-n29.shtml</a>) Maldives - 1 in 3 Maldivian women aged 15-49 has experienced some form of physical or sexual violence at least once in their lives. (<a href="http://www.minivannews.com/news/news.php?id=2944" target="_blank">http://www.minivannews.com/news/news.php?id=2944</a>) Teheran, Iran – approx. every six days a woman is raped and murdered in the city.  (<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/975997.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/975997.stm</a>) Qatar (total population = 812,842) – approx 12 rapes per year (this is significant given the small population, the figure which represents both males and females). (<a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country/qa-qatar/cri-crime" target="_blank">http://www.nationmaster.com/country/qa-qatar/cri-crime</a>) Oman (total population = 2,566,981) – approx 115 rapes per year (again, this is significant given the small population, the figure which represents both males and females). (<a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mu-oman/cri-crime" target="_blank">http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mu-oman/cri-crime</a>)  And many more go unreported because rape is taboo, and often the law is not in favour of the victim. So the actual figures are possibly much higher in each of these countries.  </blockquote>
