There are certainly parts of cultures that are immoral and so, it is a noble endeavor to
try to change such things. In the past this role has been played by religious
missionaries, particularly Christian ones, and more recently by human rights charities like
the International Women's Liberation Movements. A good job they do too.
I don't think any politician would disagree with that, so I fail to see how it could be
"politically incorrect".

I think it is a shame that our government and others do not attempt to put more
pressure on countries that still have such medieval approaches when it comes to
protecting their citizen's human rights.

That said, the last 20 years have seen huge improvements world wide in both
developed and developing nations.
