Porque.

Porque a imolação pelo fogo não purifica o Afeganistão. Porque dentro ou fora do casamento uma violação é um crime. Porque os casamentos forçados vão contra o mais básico respeito pelos direitos humanos. Porque há mulheres que precisam da vossa mão. Assinem. Já.



More and more Afghan women are resorting to suicide to escape abuse within forced marriages. Last year, a law was passed in Afghanistan that legalized marital rape. Laws like this keep Afghanistan's hospitals overrun with women who attempt suicide by self-immolation. These women do not have the support of their governments to report their abusers and leave their abusive husbands--they see death as the only way out of their miserable circumstances.
