According to the U.N. Study, "Women may suffer discrimination as women and as a member of a minority tribe or religion. Such sexist, religious and ethnic discrimination can even lead to genocide and ethnic cleansing." "Chinese women in Indonesia have been gravely persecuted during the civil disturbances in 1998." "Extremism in Afghanistan affected especially women; for example during ethnic cleansing forced marriages were used to strengthen Taliban Pastun and to humiliate other tribes; women are thus attacked as women and for their tribal adherence."
