Oppression of Women (JEAN KIM) -TV (CNN)

This news of Darfur women constantly being raped in the refugee camp is reported on CNN.
The news is reporting on the situation in which the women are exposed to extreme danger in Darfur and how the United Nations is putting forth the effort to educate the women in order to prevent them from further phsycial and mental damages. The news also informs the public of the ignorance of the Sudanese government of such atrocity taking place in their nation, as most of the women are afraid to report the situation in the fear of being told to leave the country by the government. Towards the end of the news report, the solution is suggested as more female police officers and the stronger United Nations' protection would possibly decrease the number of Darfur women being raped every time they go far way to get water and other daily supplies.


As an internationally well known news, CNN is most likely to present a neutral and objective perspectives on different events. However, as there is no such thing as a perfectly objective news, this report on the Darfur women's situation also presents a ceratin stance, delivering the message that more support and protection from a large organization such as the United Nations is needed in Darfur, Sudan.

Although the Darfur crisis is an issue that is internationally recognized as severely brutal, CNN may still present a skewed report, as it only points out what the Sudanese government is "not" doing, as a dominant broadcasting network in the West.
