madam iftikhar, we don't have cases where women are approached by the police who use violent tactics, they are "not properly dressed" in western societies. yeah, we have those challenges, as i explained, and that was — one of the promises that the president brought about was to alleviate some of those pressures. and he has been, to a great extent, successful. i think that the situation is changing, is improving. and i think that there's a lot of hope now, because we have more and more women in the government. we have a woman appointed as a minister, we have several vice presidents appointed. so, the social situation is gradually — it's not that everything is resolved, it's not... no, ok, but i mean, isn't... but i mean, it's gradually improving, and you see a lot of violence on behalf of the police in europe today against protesters for being anti—semitic. whoever is protesting against the illegal occupation of palestine by the zionist regime and the ongoing genocide is now labelled as an anti—semite and is attacked, and you see the police... yeah, i don't want to address those allega
