According
to the U.N. Study, "Women may suffer discrimination as women
and as a member of a minority tribe or religion. Such sexist, religious
and ethnic discrimination can even lead to genocide and ethnic
cleansing." "Chinese women in Indonesia have been gravely
persecuted
during the civil disturbances in 1998." "Extremism in Afghanistan
affected especially women; for example during ethnic cleansing forced
marriages were used to strengthen Taliban Pastun and to humiliate
other
tribes; women are thus attacked as women and for their tribal adherence."
