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 our husbands family friend take 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

2:34 pm
it's very hard for women particularly in 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 already or a forced marriage should be met with a lot of hostility and 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 to rape they go to the gym instead to listen then why split them into they did their close in afghanistan or. really where are the rights of women are protected they want to sister and what are they were managed to run away because a domestic violence they were not about to continue that. in

a terrible lives they both on their way home and then they get as many dresses that has been trafficked and then the way they stopped but. we need to realize that both of them are women and that in turn their back to their village before they get turned into any women organization or they do to an apartment up and up as much as a sponsor about that they get up if you maybe turn them back to go belly. up with a warlock who is a powerful come monday or stay. or give them the hands of their husband black them on the public place. and each of them type dictates what to five. in a public place and all the relatives. and each of them were crying i said quite the six thousand dollars. he put there had been partly because.
2:36 pm
you put shame on the religion 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 west for same we have in 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 that we have a 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
2:37 pm
a call as that were in the beginning of parliament most of these parliamentarian 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'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 them by a lot or so i don't think it will be. charitable. for example if women do not obey islamic law and aware 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
2:38 pm
now we have beautiful laws which appear to be all up to protect women's rights so. then the implementation of those laws and the hand-off the word lots and the hands of the people who are so i think there was a shot of the power so we need to change down mentality we need to change their point of use to us on the strike but still it will mean all. this to the. list of rights was the constitution of our greatest on is given for them because so we do not or will fly in afghanistan has been that laws but are 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 influences all five using the woman right in africa just.
2:40 pm
from islam as point of view in islamic law really it isn't pretty good 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. said to in the middle of an assembly of men. furthermore women are obliged to wear the huge job. of themselves there aren't any problems. lastly women are not allowed to become judges on.

2:45 pm
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 run only of one before now an afghan woman asking for divorce was the never even heard of to 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 i mean the 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 will be coming up the police are. 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

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 are here every day yes it's unclear how many of these cases might actually have been killings or attacks by men this hour dressed up as it were a 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. may come conflict. between husband and wife and sometimes the other is not beef to solve their problems then there were men who are on the body and
2:48 pm
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 that a dusty open office is going to have gang citizen spend lots of money to london media and they think of the literally billions of dollars that have been spent by the u.s. in that country the lapping over a fifty. 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 in 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 in fast and their gang provinces in order to improve women situation there very often money returns to
2:49 pm
external advisory me. to external free. that's always coming from abroad that are very very small percentage of the total u.s. lennie for afghanistan is going to the women to do this 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 brevet. and i did 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 a move helping poor countries. capacity building would be built for the local
2:50 pm
population like the one the pangea foundation built for its we who then ran the project rather than forgot about it i think i'm sure it's shows that that many spent chart camps project. their work design out of the country copy and paste it to the country with no sustainability no impact as much as we speak to 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. who merely wanted n.g.o.s and welcome the world 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 but he 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
2:51 pm
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 they must feel 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 the level are very well money that they expect to be used in the right way without question or she can literally money at 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
2:52 pm
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 effects our country today. hard to believe. that after spending you know. hundreds of billion dollars in afghanistan. afghanistan is the worst 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
2:53 pm
a lot of money has arrived in afghanistan to improve the situation of women but i don't think it has brought many improvements have. 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.
