Has anything changed?

This is a link to a local Jordanian blog that gives a platform to everyday matters that concern us here in Jordan.

As you can see we still have to deal with Tribal Law here as well as archaic civil law.  These crimes are not unusual here as well as all too frequent, 'honour killings' against female family members which are also dealt with in a lenient fashion

but have you seen the way young girls from 6 and 7 years of age are dressed (in public), it makes me feel sick, they look like miniature adults in totally inappropriate clothing.   Everyone  says that these sick individuals are around and looking for targets and still these little children are made so that they attract the males in our society.

In my opinion as someone who has experience in this area, those children could probably be safer than most. My understanding of a pedophile is they mostly target children that look vulnerable in some way. So, trust me clothing doesn't come into it.
