in marriage to the victim's family. and kind of to hold until the well you see how difficult it is to obtain justice because you are a woman it hurts you because you know that you can't do anything to change the situation and this is because society is in the hands of men and mad the house. 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 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 option 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. you 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 and it's good to listen to a wife but there are two digit. numbers in afghanistan or math really where the rights of women are attracted to six and what i stand were managed to run away because of the mistake while they were not about to continue with that . in a terrible life they both spend their way home and then be there as men dresses that had been trusted and then in the way they helped but the. police generalize that both of them are women and that he told them back to their village before they disowned him and he's been an organization before they returned them to the proximate help from enough says but his response about the get up to the issue that he turned their back to their religion and their religion with the

and if they don't have a right to a divorce they have the right to what's called a separation it's really hard for them to get or is a man just needs to say divorce three times and that's it he says he said divorce from his wife to become only of one before now an afghan woman asking for divorce was never even heard of be on one of a long long want to be i was through our 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 obstacles this fund says that she doesn't necessarily get access to her children this is to become and up to police. they ask some information about new patients that arroyo to these people. around forty percent which burnt area and two to five years but you have suspected for

what happened what has happened to you my husband often beats me when we argue he who was that my husband. my husband what did he do did he beat you yes means to be chewed yes. every time that we argue every day yes it's unclear how many of these cases might actually have been killings are 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 condition of some people. not good. to hold to the. economy can be. conflict. between the husband and wife and sometimes the other is not
5:48 am
a thief to solve their problems then their women who are on the body and groups of self immolation 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 and that a they open office is going to have gang citizen spend lots of money to learn the media and they think of the literally billions of dollars that have been spent by the us in that country to my lap and more a fifty billion dollars in economic aid has been spent on the. reconstruction of the economic infrastructure and social fabric in afghanistan. there are sixty countries from the international community who manage them. last june is where is all this money go and where has all of the help that was supposed to be going to women go in but the real problem is that no one invests in their gang
5:49 am
provinces in order to improve women situation there very often money returns to external advice or any. external phrase. that's always coming from abroad that are very very small percentage of the total u.s. money for afghanistan is going to the women not just these you have to add also the role 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 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 who worked hard to earn and they have given money to their governments with a move helping poor countries. capacity building group ability for the local
5:50 am
population like the one the pangea foundation built for its women who then ran the project rather than forgot about it i think i'm sure it's shows that that many spent shark camps project many of them were designed out of the country copy and paste it into country with no sustainability no impact as much as we weren't expected 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. who merely wrote in geo 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. and then she became a member of parliament didn't talk about it i mean that it down and
5:51 am
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 and appeared in 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 there must be of cooperation is a tangible problem in afghanistan and you know and i think there aren't any control mechanisms for how money is invested inside the country. by release 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 which it was a cavalier early money that arrives and then passes through the government manages the reconstruction work. and the work of the local nongovernmental organizations
5:52 am
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 or about the international community has encouraged their corruption that effect our country today. hard to believe. that after spending you know. hundred billion dollars in afghanistan is still going to stand as the warst and the award for the rights of the children afghanistan is. the second country from the down put there for the power to 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 what
5:53 am
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 at them it has a human i'm not cussing that has its half step classes or. so that's all right but we need and what we fight for the. welfare of those of us.
