A Human Rights Organization named Amnesty International has reported the severity of the raping of the Darfur women on the camp sites as a consequence of the "2003-4 attacks" (Amnesty Int'l). The article addresses how the "Janjawid militias used rape as a weapon to humiliate and punish the communities they attacked". Another issue presented in the article is about how females are disadvantaged when it comes to reporting such abuses to the police. Moreover, it informs the readers of the reality in Darfur in which the police and the nation as a whole is indifferent about the issues on females.
Since Amnesty International is an organization established as a means to help protect human rights all over the world, it is inevitable for them to use extreme or emotionally provoking language as to convince the readers to take an action over certain human rights issues. However, this article on the Darfur women can only have a potential bias, as it is a well known fact that the people of Darfur are being threatened from genocide and rape. If there is any potential bias, it would be a bias created from not considering the culture and religion of the nation (which they address humanitarian problems on) deep enough. Aside from life-threatening issues such as the Darfur Crisis, the standard of human rights may depend on different cultures of different nations.
