"It's quite amazing," the Malian nods. "In my country a woman should not go out without her husband or brother."
Great idea and should be made compulsory though I'm not sure it works ...

I suppose it may work up to a point, i.e. before marriage, but my personal feeling is that after marriage it will be "behind closed doors" and the men will simply return to their old ways.

How can you teach people our way of life when they are about
200 years behind in their ways of thinking.

I am hoping my thoughts are true about when I die. I will
be going to the big DISCO in the sky. Wont be seeing him there
thank goodness.

Re: Teaching migrants how to behave

Seems like a good idea, how they live once married surely is up to them, we may think we know best but it is for everyone to make their own marriage work. Adult and consensual is what matters.
