Depending on the financial circumstances of the family, it could be a pretty expensive hobby. In the end, as long as it didn't hurt us financially, I'd support any thing my wife wanted to do.

Yes, victims are victims but to look at the problem in a realistic way means we have to consider the culture where these heinous acts are committed. In most Countries, to treat a woman in that way is a crime, but in some other Countries, its not. As sick as it sounds to us here in the States, to change a cultural thing is waaaay more complicated than to arrest a violator of a crime.

Nothing we could do can change how some Countries view women in the short term. I think, over time, more countries will adapt more equal policies regarding women. Progress will not be nearly...not nearly fast enough...
