incident and search for the missing pilot. and it would retaliate with didn't specify what action might take. next a special report on the trials and tribulations of women in afghanistan as a strive for equal rights. we see. many. ask why we have been 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. mark how. 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 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 then she found shelter she was lucky. but she then found that have husbands 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 the 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've brought shame on it's 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 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 be

a 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 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 those materials so. they have to so they are through. i was ten years old to believe parents may be leery enough gunmen knowing twenty

two this man and his family were all leavers he promised my father to be money one of my children's father is my brother and my husband doesn't know it we have in court about. woman she her car children and force. her brother to force her. to marry me marry me out of money my fifteen barred sort of marry my one year four but otherwise he would kill you. how can she. get market work a wife hold with a kid there's a practice called bad which is the use of women and girls as compensation crimes so what you sometimes see happening if there's been for instance a rape or a mad. they'll be a traditional jerker at council gathering about this and one of the ways that they can try to resolve faiths 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. he kind of took on the hold until the third well you see how difficult it is to obtain justice because you are 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. it's very hard for women particularly conservative areas of the country to seek help. sadly if a young girl or a woman goes to the police complaining about something like to master violence or ready for a forced marriage option should be met with a lot of hostility sometimes she can be ostracized by society basically thinks the

problem should be kept in the home and we also sometimes see women. 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 the a widespread damage to their to their 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 because a domestic violence they were not about to continue with that. kind of terrible life. on their way home and then being there as men drafted their husband traffic and then the way they stopped what we. will eat you alive but up there mark bannerman and that he told them back to their village. or they didn't want them to any women organization or they're going to and into the park

and at the moment affairs which is a sponsor about that they get up there. they turn their back you go well and they're well i joke with a warlock. with the powerful. monday they had. before give them the hand but there had been a flag them on the public place. and each of them subject it was the five flashing in a public place in front of all relatives. and he kept them were flying. a quest the six thousand dollars that family to pay put there had been probably because come get point a few put up them put shame on the religion and on the family name so they have to be made to see their village and pay the fine house that day the punished by de waart about. killing the one that might use it for the war lost like killing a person. we're at a point where the concept of justice is still nonexistent. but

there 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 a constitutional. freedom of speech event and initial house we didn't have and we don't have freedom of speech element to part of democracy we have and of our constitution our freedom for press more than four times they beat your analysis inside of the parliament. in itself proves their lies. which is sort of a dick or lies that were in the beginning of parliament most of these parliamentarians making amnesty law criminal forgive themselves not because you had to look at once there was a discussion about the sentence of a woman who was to be stoned to death tribute being the shari'a 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 because he was told that it was still

a crime in any case and at a certain point was the response was well should be hit with pebbles then by a lot of that i would think it would be. terrible. for example if women do not obey islamic law and where strange clothes 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 behavior and no more now we have beautiful laws which appear to be all up to protect women's rights so. they're there for them and pushing up those laws are in the hands of the word large and. think that there was a shell of the power so we need to change our mentality we need to change their point of view is the last moments try but still. not.

this to the. list of rights was the constitution of afghanistan is given for them because so we did our rule of law in afghanistan has been that laws and put them into properly we have a lot of warlords walk in else we have organized criminals we have a lot of illegal groups they are the main causes in. all of our views in that woman right in afghanistan.

we have. you part of our states are on which all of them are protecting women strike. from islam as point of view in islamic law it isn't pretty but it 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. or if they cover themselves there aren't any problems. lastly women are not allowed to become judges on. 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. what. 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 work as a man just needs to say divorce three times and that's it he says he said to his wife the only one before now afghan women asking for divorce was and never even heard of. i don't want to be. so now a days the 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. those issues fund says that she doesn't necessarily get access to her children this is to become and up to police are. not being asked 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. 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 did he do it deliberate you yes we need 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.

of some people. to. come. between war and some. of the other problem. on the border. so you 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 they open office is going to have gannon citizen spend lots of money to learn the media think of the literally billions of dollars that have been spent by the u.s. 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 there can provinces in order to improve women situation there very often money returns to external advisory me. to external freeway. there's always coming from abroad that are very very. the total u.s. money for afghanistan is going to the women not just these you have to add also the rule of international cooperation and i'm sure there is 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

a person i would prefer that. basically what i did and there and 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 group ability for the local population like the one the pangea foundation built for its women who then ran the project rather than forgot about it i think our lady of the solution it's shows that that money spent and shark camps project many of them were designed 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 westernize elites who merely running n.g.o.s. other 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. as planning minister he conducted resends us of the local nongovernmental organizations that had risen up in afghanistan since two thousand and one. opinion a lot of the twenty two hundred nongovernmental organizations including the census. commanders the removal of one thousand nine hundred of them to president karzai. so the muffy of cooperation is a tangible problem in afghanistan and you know and i think there aren't any control mechanisms for how monies invested inside the country. by their home is what i want

them to understand how the money that they give to their governments is used. why any that they expect to be used in the right way without mission washing can literally money that 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 the corrupted wool or it's where the money will end up in their pockets on their little about the international community has encouraged the corruption that effect our country today . hard to believe. that after spending you know. hundred billion dollars and afghanistan is still afghanistan is the war and the award for the rights of the children

afghanistan is. the second country that the sound put there for the power to afghanistan is the highest. and the award of maternal mortality that each fifteen minutes one woman dies from in my turn maternity because of lack of access to the clinic when a lot of money has arrived in afghanistan to improve the situation of women but i don't think it has brought many improvements. expectation that to be the suspect it has a permit 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.

i am. a a.
