Well, as John Lennon famously said after the civil rights victories for blacks the early 1970s ”woman is the nigger of the world”.
In Australia, the current social justice issues are mainly to do with violence and abuse. Somehow they are kept in their own boxes (domestic, institutional, police against aboriginals, etc) but they are reflections of each other and the society as a whole.
Talking specifically to your point about acid attacks etc - here we have a growing campaign for public consciousness-raising over
domestic violence, where 90% of victims are women, 52 were killed in 2014, and already by April 2015 there’s been 34 murdered (all women killed by their spouses or ex-partners).
Compare that with deaths and injuries from terrorism and the disproportionate funding by government sticks out like a red head in a meditation hall in India.
We have a famously labelled ”misogynist” as PM who made himself the federal Minister for Women (traditionally a female role), who appointed only one woman to his ministry of 19 then recently, daringly, doubled it to two!!, whose party had its official lunch for International Women’s Day at an exclusive "Male members only" club (I kid you not, I think the party hires comedy writers as advisors). His government has slashed funding for various services so that now, in NSW there are only 14 women’s refuges where there used to be maybe 10 times that number. I won't go into this ”modern progressive” society’s treatment of asylum seekers or indigenous people or children in institutional care but ...
and as lightning shows up at the end of the list with 10 deaths in 9 years, and as Australia is infamous for sharks, please note
In the USA in the 30 years 1970-2000 ~ 12 people died from shark attacks, in this same period ~ 1,500 people died from lighting strikes in coastal regions (These figures are only from coastal regions so as not to inflate the number of deaths from lighting strikes).
Each year worldwide there are ~ 10 deaths attributable to shark attacks compared with ~ 150 deaths worldwide caused by falling coconuts (!).
