12:30 pm
i. suppose nine pm in moscow you're watching r.t. live from the russian capital with me kevin how into night the top stories a terrorist plot to kill vladimir putin after sunday's presidential election has been prevented by moscow and kiev three suspects arrested for a bomb plot in ukraine of confessed to preparing to assassinate prime minister. yes to reform the syrian people over the world only approved a new constitution after voting in a landmark referendum but the e.u. stepping up the pressure with tough new sanctions on president assad's regime. iran's nuclear envoy is the wrong pictures here telling r.t.
12:31 pm
that sanctions imposed on his country risked derailing the already fragile talks over the country's controversial atomic program earlier today was responding to the latest u.n. nuclear watchdog report accusing the country of still not cooperating enough. and lawmakers in cash rich germany have voted to back in the rescue deal for greece despite unease it won't be enough to save the country spain's feared to be slowly succumbing to a similar fate. our programs continue after nine eleven the u.s. began its anti terror campaign in afghanistan at the time america's first lady said it would finally give afghan women their freedom so a decade later we are asking what's changed. we see. many. wives who have been
12:32 pm
beaten who want to leave their abusive husband there is one story that was the worst story which is a girl who had been sold off by her family and she was beaten by the older man who she was forced to marry and she tried to escape and they caught her and brought her back and because she tried to escape she had to be punished her husband then cut off and cut off her nose their reason is that it's a big example for others. not how we're. going to reach him i'll tell you a story of a young woman i met i find inspiring i'm not going to promise a happy outcome but at least it was an inspiring story she was a young woman who was forced into marriage in a very conservative part of the country in the southeast she was forced into
12:33 pm
marriage at the age of around thirteen and from somewhere she was getting a lot of abuse in this home and she was very unhappy and she found it in his up to run away which when you're coming from an area of the country where women are not seen on the streets alone imagine a girl she was now fourteen or fifteen making her way from the southeast of the country all the way to kabul and there she found shelter she was lucky. that she then found that had husband's family rose up against a they called upon a lot of the tribal elders in that area they were furious they felt like she brought shame upon her they got the support of parliament they got support of the minister of interior is an indication of quite how conservative those views are even in the heart of government and in the end this girl faced the president's office the minister of interior parliamentarians and they said to her you must go home you for shame on it and she said no if you send me back to that village there is not one that will hear my death cries kill me here kill me now i'd rather that
12:34 pm
than go back to this village so defiance was extraordinary this courage in a girl so young and eventually the government backed down and they let her stay in the safe hands she's getting an education she's much happier now she may someday soon get a divorce she's been trying for several years to get a separation. and so i can't claim that she's yet happy she's still having to be very much protected because the husband's family frankly still want to kill her or at least take her back and there she might get real risk but she is trying to forge a life. poorer families can't afford to have. girl children who can't work in the fields so there is. a tremendous economic push to marry your daughter off at
12:35 pm
a very very young age sometimes as young as ten or whatever where that america's armed forces are going to that are there using drugs there need be drugs there's materials. they have so they're through. i was ten years old to let parents maybe larry enough gunmen know when twenty two this man and his family were all in neighborhoods he promised my father to be money . of my children's father is my brother and my husband doesn't know it we have in court about. woman she her five children and force. her brother to force her. to marry me marry me out of money my fifteen barco to marry my one year four but otherwise he would kill you. how can she.
12:36 pm
get murder work or why you hold with the kid this practice called bad which is the use of women and girls as compensation for crimes so what you sometimes see happening if there's been for instance of rape or a mad. they'll be a traditional juggler the council is gathering about this and one of the ways that they can try to result states is rather than. punishing the perpetrator of the rape or the murder they'll take a girl from one family the perpetrators family and they'll give that girl usually in marriage to the victim's family. and i hope until the third well you see how difficult it is to obtain justice because you're a woman it hurts you because you know that you can do anything to change the situation if you will and this is because society is in the hands of men and maddow has someone who at this point the concept of justice is still nonexistent. if you
12:37 pm
think. it's very hard for women particularly conservative areas of the country to seek help and sadly if a young girl or a woman goes to the police complaining about something like to master violence or rape or a forced marriage should be met with a lot of hostility sometimes she can be ostracized by society that basically thinks the problem should be kept in the home and we also sometimes see women up until recently a woman could be knocked out for having been raped even the woman when they get raped they go to the gym instead to lessen their wives what they were going to. close in afghanistan or. really where are the rights of women are protected they want to stay there and what are they were managed to run away
12:38 pm
because of domestic violence they were not about to continue with that. kind of terrible life they bought on their way home and then being there as men drafted their husband traffic and then the way they stopped by. police you know like that but up there mark bannerman and then turned their back to their village. or they didn't want them to any women organization reported they hadn't turned into the park and at the moment affairs which is a sponsor about that they get up if you shoot maybe turn them back you go well and the religious with a warlord with a powerful. monday. before give them the handcuffs that had been the flag theme on the public plate. and each of them subject forty five flashes in a public place in front of all religious. and he kept them or find. a quote to
12:39 pm
six thousand dollars. definitely he put there had been partly because. you put shame on the village and on the family name so they have to make their ballots and pay the fine. punished by their. killing the one that might use it for the war lost like killing a bird. we are out of your point where the concept of justice is still nonexistent . today we have jungle law if this constitutional benefit photo was lost they put that practice otherwise they look like a waste of paper same we have our constitutional. freedom of speech event and initial house we didn't have and we don't have freedom of speech element to part of them are we have a constitutional freedom for press more than four times they beat your analysis
12:40 pm
inside of the parliament. in itself proves the lies. which is sort of an equal as that were in the beginning of parliament most of these parliamentarians making amnesty law criminal forgive themselves not because yet you look at once there was a discussion about the sentence of a woman who was to be stoned to death. being the shari'ah judge he didn't want to contemplate that the woman could be at least symbolically stoned in the square not being hit but still insulted but he was told that it was still a crime in any case and at a certain point was the response was well she'll be hit with pebbles them by a lot or. there will be some sort of charitable. role for example if women do not obey islamic law and aware strange clothes and go out seducing per young people. especially those who don't have the possibility of getting married. in our opinion this is not the right
12:41 pm
behavior and no more new theme now we have beautiful laws which appear to be all up to protect woman's rights so bad and stand there and push up those laws and the hand-off the word lots and the one that the people who are so i think there was a shot of the power so we need to chant down mentality we need to change their point of use to us on the strike but still. not. this to the. list of rights was the constitution of our group has done is given for them because so we do not or will fly in afghanistan has been that laws not put them into properly we have a lot of warlords walk in and else we have organized criminals we have a lot of illegal groups they are the main causes of souless all five using the
12:42 pm
woman right in afghanistan. we have. you keep all of our status quo on which all of them are protecting women strike.
12:43 pm
from islam as point of view in islamic law it isn't pretty bad for women to work just study or to go into offices. yet here's what islam does prevent some things for women only women cannot see. in the middle of an assembly of men. furthermore women are obliged to wear the huge job. if they cover themselves if there aren't any problems. and. lastly women are not allowed to become judges on.
12:44 pm
the religion of islam doesn't allow women to undertake a role in which you have to give our judgments. these laws are respected so there aren't any problems. we need to teach the community that they're right struggling but that today i mean i think. that's. well in afghanistan the majority of women married below the age of sixteen. they don't have the right to divorce they have the right to what's called a separation it's really hard for them to get there is a man just needs to say divorce three times and that's it he says he said to his
12:45 pm
wife the only one before now and women asking for divorce was never even heard of. i don't want to. know in days to women come to us to ask us to resolve marital issues. sometimes we succeed sometimes we do not. point a couple gets divorced but we don't want anything to do with those women for women it's a long hard struggle to get a separation and one of the major us. she finds is that she doesn't necessarily get access to her children this is to become a doctor police. they ask some information about new patients that arrive to these people. around forty percent each burnt area and two to five years but you have suspected for self-immolation and just the right.
12:46 pm
percentage or the name or the comment required. a lot of. immolation. i mean. who. unfortunately. this. young woman. chose what happened what has happened to you my husband often beats me when we argue he who was it my husband. my husband what do you do diddley beat you
12:47 pm
yes i mean to be chewed yes. every time that we are here every day yes it's unclear how many of these cases might actually have been killings or attacks by men that are dressed up as it were suicide it's this very rarely investigations certainly rarely criminal investigations after these cases take place the men problem in afghanistan. because of the economy conditions. some people. who are. too old to. come. between war and some. of the other problems there. on the border. so you
12:48 pm
will hear people in the obama administration talking about how much they care about the women of afghanistan it's not true they don't care about the women of afghanistan that they open office is it would have can see it isn't spend lots of money to learn the media think of the literally billions of dollars that have been spent by the us in that country over a fifty billion dollars in economic aid has been spent on the reconstruction of the economic infrastructure and social fabric in afghanistan is so much that there are sixty countries from the international community who manage them with. my skin is where is all this money go and where has all of the help that was supposed to be going to women but the real problem is that no one in fast and their gang province's in order to improve women situation there very often money returns to external advisory me. to external free will. this always comes from
12:49 pm
abroad. very very small percentage of the total us money for afghanistan is going to the women not just these you have to add also the rule of international cooperation there was a study by oxfam from about two years ago that said that all of the money meant for reconstruction forty percent of it returns to sender through the expenses for personality. and there are most of the money ends up in the pockets of those who sent the money in the first place. this is upsetting for us because this money comes from people who live in foreign countries money that these people have worked hard to earn and they have given money to their governments with the aim of helping poor countries. capacity building would be built for the local population like the one the pangea foundation built for its
12:50 pm
women who then ran the project rather than forgot about it i think our lady of its shows that that money spent and shark camps project. design out of the country copy and paste it to the country with no sustainability no impact as much as we would expect it they have to be careful about the afghans that they support. you know are they afghans that really have the ability to be social changes or are they highly westernized elites who merely world of n.g.o.s welcome the world thank you for example there was a basher doest who was the minister of planning during the first karzai administration that really got a guy. and then she became a member of parliament didn't talk about it i mean that it down and a man who was much loved by the afghan population of atlanta peter as planning minister he conducted resends as of the local nongovernmental organizations that
12:51 pm
had risen up in afghanistan since two thousand and one. opinion a lot of the twenty two hundred nongovernmental organizations including the census doest recommend the removal of one thousand nine hundred of them to president karzai. so there must be of cooperation is a tangible problem in afghanistan and you know that and i think there aren't any control mechanisms for how monies invested inside the country. by mr i want them to understand how the money that they give to their governments is used. while money that they expect to be used in the right way without question washington can literally money it arrives and then passes through the government manages the reconstruction work. and the work of the local nongovernmental organizations so it is clear that if the majority of the government is made up of
12:52 pm
the corrupted wool or it's where the money will end up in their pockets on or about the international community has encouraged the corruption that affect our country today. hard to believe. that after spending you know. hundred billion dollars in afghanistan. afghanistan is the warst and the award for the rights of the children afghanistan is. the second country from the down put there for the poverty afghanistan is the highest. and the war of maternal mortality that each fifteen minutes one woman dies from in my turn maternity because of lack of access to the clinic quite a lot of money has arrived in afghanistan to improve the situation of women but i
12:53 pm
don't think it has brought many improvements. expectation that to be respected as a women has a human i'm not cussing that has a separate classes or subhuman so that's all right but we need and what we fight for the. welfare of those of us. laugh.
