Gender and gender roles

Frosch, Dan. "Report Faults Treatment of Women Held at Immigration Centers." New York Times A23. 10 Feb 2009 .

In this world, women have never been treated as equally as men. As history progressed women have earned more rights and they have become more powerful, but still not at the same level as men. In an Arizona immigration detention center the women were not treated very well. When people investigated this, they saw that the authorities were being too aggressive towards the women. Now there is a big argument because the workers there are saying its apart of the law enforcement. The detention centers have been under pressure before to make their detention center better and improve its conditions. They said they would, but the law wont take effect until 2010. One woman who was held there experienced abdominal pain after undergoing female genitel mutilation from africa was told just to drink water, but later was brought to the hospital and they found a big cyst. These people at the detention centers need to treat these women with more respect. Just because they are women doesnt mean its okay to treat them this way.
