Yes, we all know about Magdalene Laundries, which survived into the 1980s, godhelpus. But 'whataboutery' is a vain pursuit. If there is anyone who can't see

that adducing the occasional abuse of that sort as some sort of justification for the persistently ongoing institutionalised persecution and punishment of young women in Islamic countries where Sharia Law is dominant, for 'offences' which are not even illegal in most parts of the world,

goes no distance whatsoever to justifying such persecution's continuance with almost no kind of protest from the worldwide community [we need their bloody oil, don't we!], then I greatly pity such a person's lack of proportionate perception of reality.
