Scientific Studies of women by UN
"The United Nations Development Fund for Women says there is anecdotal evidence that domestic violence - verbal, physical, sexual and psychological - has increased noticeably since Israel's recent bloody operation in Gaza and in general since Hamas took over sole control of the strip almost two years ago." I see. Let me also add that the UN Development Fund for Women also says that there is anecdotal (not scientific or empirical) "evidence"--by the way, please don't put the word "anecdotal" together with "evidence"--that Palestinian women enjoy more rights when Dahlan gangs receive more arms and money from Western and Arab governments. I also receive anecdotal evidence that the UN Development Fund for Women and other UN organizations will provide you with any conclusions or studies that would justify wars and occupation.
