Gold in Pakistan, and the women are treated like shit!!!
This will not solve Pakistan's problems, even if they have all the gold in the world!!
First, Pakistan needs to look at its social infrastructure, and discover what is needed to fix it. Like stopping the mullahs and Islamic clerics from interfering with every day life affairs of Pakistani citizens. That may be your claim to fame.
Saudi Arabia has vast natural resources, but what good is that, when the women in Sudia Arabia are not even allowed to drive a car?

VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN NOT CONFINED TO SPECIFIC CULTURE OR REGION,
October 8,2006
UN General Assembly
Violence against women is “a global phenomenon” -- complex, pervasive and pernicious -- to which at least one woman in three is subjected at some point of her lifetime, José Antonio Ocampo, Under-Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs, told the Third Committee (Social, Humanitarian and Cultural) today as it began its debate on the advancement of women and implementation of the outcome of the Fourth World Conference on Women and of the twenty-third special session of the General Assembly.
Presenting an in-depth study from the Secretary-General on violence against women, Mr. Ocampo said, “Violence against women is not confined to a specific culture, region or country, or to a particular group of women within a society.” To the contrary, violence against women was truly a global phenomenon.

Barrick Gold eyes development in Pakistan, but pans Bolivia and Venezuela
TORONTO (CP) - Barrick Gold Corp. (TSX:ABX), the world's biggest gold producer, says it's open to further expansion in Pakistan - which it considers more politically stable than some countries in South America.
"Pakistan ... from a mining point of view, from a business point of view, is among the better countries (to invest in)," founder and chairman Peter Munk told shareholders during the Canadian company's annual meeting Thursday.
"If I had the choice to put my money in one of the Latin American countries run by (Bolivian president) Evo Morales or (Venezuelan President Hugo) Chavez - I know where I'd put my buck," he said, referring to moves to nationalize resources in those two countries, to the detriment of foreign investors.
Barrick bought a stake in the Reko Dig copper-gold project in Pakistan for $100 million US in February from Antofagasta PLC, a Chilean mining group.
When CEO Greg Wilkins went to Pakistan in connection with that project, Munk said, he was received by both Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz and President Pervez Musharraf.
"If a country has time to have its president, who's in the middle of a politically, highly charged region, courted by Soviets, China, Muslims and America ... sit down ... with Greg to encourage him to invest money and invite a Canadian company to come in to develop the country's resources, it shows you what a great country it is," Munk said
Although the company's assessment of opportunities in that country is still in the early days, Wilkins said Barrick would be "very interested" in more projects in the area, despite challenges posed by the presence of al-Qaida in its various regions.
"We have a $20-million joint exploration program for (Reko Dig) alone and the Tethyan belt itself - which is actually geological belt that runs from Turkey all the way to Iran and into Pakistan is really quite prospective," he said. "So we'll be looking to take advantage if we can (and) see what opportunities exist for us."
While a growing leftist trend in Latin America is raising concerns for foreign companies like Barrick, Wilkins said, some countries are fighting to address those issues and remain attractive to investors.
A senior Argentine official, for instance, has offered to make a presentation to Barrick's board to "give us the assurance that Argentina isn't going that way," Wilkins said.
"The extremism of what Mr. Morales has done is going to knock those other guys back and perhaps off that agenda."
Barrick, a Toronto-based miner, has about 22,000 employees around the world. The company reported a jump in first-quarter profit to $224 million US from a year-earlier $66 million US late Wednesday, boosted by strong metal prices and gains made from the acquisition of Vancouver-based Placer Dome.
The gold company's earnings, reported in U.S. dollars, translated to 29 cents a share, up from 12 cents per share in the same period last year, beating analysts expectations.
Michael Jalonen, and analyst with Merrill Lynch, said he was expecting earnings to come in at 19 cents per share.
"We attribute the variance to our assumption the company would deliver production to lower-priced hedge positions during the quarter, thus recognizing a lower gold price than actual for Q1 2006," he said in a note to clients.
Barrick bought Placer Dome in a $12.1-billion-Cdn deal completed March 15. Barrick expects to close the deal to sell some of Placer's assets to Goldcorp Inc. (TSX:G) in May.
The company reiterated its 2006 gold production forecast of 8.6 to 8.9 million ounces at $275 to $290 per ounce.
On the Toronto stock market Thursday afternoon, its shares were trading up over seven per cent, or $2.53, at $36.93, with over 7.2 million shares changing hands

UN study reveals 'shocking' global child abusewadsab said:
Updated Fri. Oct. 13 2006 8:34 AM ET
A United Nations report has revealed a "shocking" picture of physical, sexual and psychological violence against children across the globe.
The report, released by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan's office on Thursday, concludes that violence against children is widely accepted as normal and occurs in every country, every society and every social group.
"We knew children were victims of violence, but even so it was very surprising and shocking that it was so widespread," Mehr Khan Williams, the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, told reporters Thursday.
"It cuts across cultures, income levels, education levels. No country is immune from it."

so you want to ignore rapes ,abuse and domestic violence on women because it occurs in your society toowadsab said:
see here how women are being helped , a Muslim just won a Noble Prize for peace by helping poor women and loaning them billions of doallrs and help them raising their life standard as his banks 96% clients are women

If Women were getting justice may be half of those men`s population would be in Jail or the abuse would have stopped or atleast wouldnt be that widespreadwadsab said:
and where is the justice here ?
https://terb.cc/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=111190
Wadsab, troll has routinely used this defense to try to deflect criticism. Of course he ignores:
1. That the rape, abuse and victimization he mentions in the west unfortunately affects a percentage of western women while the lack of basic rights affect all women in many Islamic countries. And,
2. That countries that justify honour killings and believe women are (effectively) property of their husbands are very unlikely to keep accurate data on the victimization and abuse of these women. Western stats seem high for the simple fact that we are willing to accept that there is a problem and are willing to try to address it.
He is simply using the tactic of posting irrelevent information as a tool to avoid the question.

And then this
Only 50% of violent crimes in the US are reported to police
The US government recently reported of the reduction of the crime rate in that country while it is said that only 50 % of crimes that take place in the country are reported to the police and US officials. The Us statistics office presenting a list of 5.2 million crimes including rape, robbery or attack on citizens, and around 19 million robberies, announced that the rate of violent crimes between 1993 and 2004 has decreased. However, this report points out that only 50 % of violent crimes and 39 % of robberies have been reported to police in 2004. It is said that only 36% of rapes and 45% of normal attacks on civilians have been reported to police , and the number of car robberies reported to police has been the highest case of crimes reported to police.
and BuskerCase where are the threads on Rapes , domestic violence and women abuse in the western society ????
