The way a nation treats its women is a good barometer for general oppression. Even focusing on non-violent things like literacy rates offers a loose, but real correlation to the type of violent punishment that this girl received. For example, in Iran, men have an 85.6% literacy rate, while women have a 73% literacy rate.
