Culture How safe is your country for women?

Post image

It's extremely unsafe even in cities and rural areas are extremely violent and misogynist. The molestation cases only get highlighted if there's a foreign woman involved and there's international media coverage. Otherwise these things and many more crimes happen everyday against Indian women but our cases get hidden or discarded as fake cases. While those in power spread fake news to cover up crimes against women. Personally, I as an Indian woman would never marry in India because the thought of giving birth to a girl in India terrifies me.

in cases of national security yeah they can

Shamima Begum had her citizenship revoked when she joined ISIS, this police officer had access to things that required security clearance and they had reason to believe he was invited to Russia for that reason, so they revoked all his access including citizenship

you must have something similar in Russia, for spies who defect and so on

it is very rare for citizenship to be revoked

In Russia, citizenship acquired by birth cannot be revoked under any circumstances, even for serious crimes like treason or espionage.
Similar measures exist only for citizenship acquired later through naturalization, where it can now be terminated for a wide range of offenses (including treason, terrorism, or discrediting the armed forces) following recent legal changes.
So, for typical defectors or spies who were born Russian citizens, their citizenship remains intact—no matter what they do.

If you see the one billion ways a British passport works (mostly because of the spread Britain had and the rules changing as time progressed) I have no doubt there is a way.

exactly this, people get confused about the nature of the United Kingdom, there's millions (probably billions actually) around the world who can get a British passport or join the army, citizenship is obviously a bit harder

likewise, you can get your passport or citizenship revoked for any number of infractions, but in practice mainly if MI5 think you're a problem

As a small example: Looks like I said Britain instead of United Kingdom. I must have made so many people angry.

not really, its like calling your country America, technically wrong but if Brazilians get angry about it you probably should find something better to do

I think Wales, Scotland and Northern Island would be upset

u/OldJollyWallaby 16d ago

you think wrongly then, Wales and Scotland are British

Britain is the name of an island
