A study carried out by forensic medicine experts in Tirana between 2001 and 2003 showed that there was a high incidence of violence exerted against female partners. The data indicated that there had been an increase in violence during the course of the study. Seventy-one per cent of cases involving abuse of the female partner were violent, and in 68 per cent of the cases the victims were homemakers between 20 and 40 years of age with a history of repeated violence. Professor Sokrat Meksi, who has worked in forensic medicine for many years, stated, “Violence in the family is growing. In the first years of transition it did not register as high a rate as at the moment. That it has had an increasing trend over the past five to six years is extremely worrying

Child marriages Early or child marriage is the union, whether official or not, of two persons, at least one of whom is under 18 years of age. 1 By virtue of being children, child spouses are considered to be incapable of giving full consent, meaning that child marriages should be considered a violation of human rights and the rights of the child. Rates of child marriage are high in certain parts of Azerbaijan, and are the result of a combination of cultural attitudes, such as the importance attached to marriage and motherhood for women, and socio-economic factors, such as poverty. Child marriage is a gendered phenomenon that affects girls and boys in different ways. Overall, the number of boys in child marriages around the world is significantly lower than that of girls. Girl child spouses are also vulnerable to domestic violence and sexual abuse within relationships that are unequal, and if they become pregnant, often experience complications during pregnancy and childbirth, as their bodies are not ready for childbearing. Upon marrying, both boys and girls often have to leave education to enter the workforce and/or take up domestic responsibilities at home.

Women are still oppressed in both countries.

Humanity has worked and progressed for too many CENTURIES to have it all trashed in the name of PC, and plummet BACKWARDS under the onslaught of what can hardly be a called "civilized" presence. This is especially true if it's fueled by a religion that promotes hatred and intolerance.

Finland is EU’s second most violent country for women
A major new study by the EU’s Fundamental Rights Agency has found that 47 percent of women in Finland have experienced physical or sexual violence at some time since the age of 15. Only Danish women were found to have experienced more abuse out of the 28 countries studied.

Angel Merkel unilaterally did a very UNdemocratic move when she - without checking with EU parliament - went against all EU principles of movement and border controls - and opened up for millions illegal immigrants.
Then, she does not take any responsibility over the situation, and blatantly ignores what is going on.
She is the German version of Obama!
“If I was able to, I would turn back time by many, many years, so that I could have prepared the whole government and the authorities for the situation which hit us out of the blue in the late summer of 2015,” she said.

Albania is not Afghanistan. Albania is a secular country with tourism as an important part of its economy. If you want to make a point, try a different example.

How is destroying an arms factory comparable to attacking a non-combative citizen?
That was a thousand year old village n Afghanistan, not an "arms factory", Youtube channel changed the title to make that sound 'justifiable'.
