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 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 seamus 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 get real risk but she is trying to forge a life. poor 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 there's materials. they have so they're through.

i was ten years old to believe parents may be leery enough gunmen no way twenty two this man and his family were all leaders he promised my father to be money my one of my children's father is my brother and my husband doesn't know it we have important about. woman she her car children and force. her brother to her. to marry me marry me out of money my fifteen bartow to marry my one year small but otherwise he would kill you. how can she. get marya work or why don't 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 has been for instance of rape or a mad. they'll be a traditional jagger and council gathering about this and one of the ways that they

can try to result 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. and i hold until both of them 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 in court . 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

already or a forced marriage should be met with a lot of hostility sometimes she can be ostracized by society that basically thinks that 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 their wives but then when they did 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 of domestic violence they were not about to continue with that. kind of terrible lives. 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 them are women and they're in turn their back to their

village. or they didn't want them to any women organization or they go to and into the park and the woman affairs which is a sponsor about the big get up to. thirty two and then back you go well and they're well i joke with a warlord with a powerful. monday they. may forgive them the hand but there has been a flag them on the public place. and each of them subject it was the five flagship 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. death point of view put up them put shame on the religion and on the family name so they have two images to leave their bellies and pay the fine just that day the punished by death was botched. killing the woman 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 close to. benefit photo was lost they put that practice otherwise they look like a waste of paper saying 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 democracy we have our constitutional freedom for press more than four times to be that your analysis inside of the parliament. in itself proves that 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 because you have you look at once there was a discussion about the sentence of a woman who was to be stoned to death tribute being the sharia 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. charitable. 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 pick a new theme now we have beautiful laws which appear to be all up to protect women's rights so but then there limitation of those laws are in the hands of the word large and one hundred think that there was

a shot of the power so we need to change our mentality we need to change their point of view it's a lot on the strike but still. a lot. i wish to the. rights was the constitution of our group has done is given for them because so we did our will fly in afghanistan has been that laws but they're meant to properly we have a lot of war lords walk in else we have organized criminals we have a lot of illegal groups they are the main causes of souless all of our views in the woman right in afghanistan.

we have. you part of our status quo on which all of them are protecting women strike. from islam as point of view in islamic law it isn't precipitated for women to work to study or to go into offices.

yet here but 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 condemning. 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 think. that's. well in afghanistan the majority of women married below the age of sixteen. if 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 where is a man just needs to say divorce three times and that's it he says he said to his wife. before now and women asking for divorce was and 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 have. not been ask some information about her new position that arroyo to this before. it's 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 wasn't my husband. my husband what did he do it deliberately or yes means 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. to. come. between me and war and some. of the other problem there. 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 it would have gone citizen spend lots of money to learn that media think of the literally billions of dollars that have been spent by

the us in that country. 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 thousand afghan provinces in order to improve women situation they're in very often money returns to external advisory me. to external freeway. it'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 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 a person i would prefer that. basically unless 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 would be built 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 its shows that that money spent and shut camps project money out there were designed out of the country copy and paste it into countries 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 running n.g.o.s welcome to 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 in 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 us of the local nongovernmental organizations that would result in afghanistan since two thousand and nine. appeared in a lot of the twenty eight 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 that and i think there aren't any

control mechanisms for how money is invested inside the country. by no means that i want them. understand homes and money that they give to their governments is used. for and any that they expect to be used in the right way was out of the ship washington can't legally money at that arrives and then passes through the government program 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 towards where their money will end up and they have pockets on their little path the international community has encouraged the corruption that effect our country today. hard to believe. that after spending you know. hundreds of billion

dollars in afghanistan. the war 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. in the world of. each fifteen minutes one woman dies. in maternal mortality 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 don't think it has brought many improvements. expectation that we respect it. as a woman has a human i'm not custom 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.

the war. war. the. they've been living this way since to seventeenth century. strict. their communities are isolated.

they clearly distinguish between their own and the alien. and guard their family and things as a treasure. there hasn't been anything good on t.v. . it is to get the maximum political impact false. before source material is what helps keep journalism honest we. we want to present. something else.

just give me can i speak with you sir let me let me explain my son died in a gun don't agree you don't agree we don't have to look for other name my son isn't isn't in the marine i don't know what is crap we are going to find it for you'll seriously. concerned your country you. might

get a country is a huge. honor in hope to help you term it. you fight in so many own says war and meet the senseless death.
