I believe the world is responsible for protecting any citizen of any country because we are all global citizens. Just because a person is not born within the borders of the United States, it does not mean her life is not just as valuable as an American's. Life is a precious gift that should be protected at all costs. These stories of the girl who was beheaded and the girl was shot are just two examples of the abuse of women all over the world.
When there is a natural disaster, like the disaster that occurred in Haiti, people all over the world responded with money, supplies, and volunteers. However, when something like individuals being targeted, it is just a headline. People will say it is sad and then move on with their lives. To me, events like the story I read about are just as important. Money and supplies won't solve these problems, though, which is why people may shy away from actually helping these women. These women need support and for people to lobby their governments to make a real change to protect these women.
