The Plight of Girls and Women in Afghanistan
Even though the Taliban are no longer in power in present-day Afghanistan, girls and women remain marginalized in Afghanistan. I watched this compelling documentary as a free download on the PBS website. It features the story of Sabere, a young woman who was traded by her stepfather to a much older man for his wife when she was only ten years old. The man, named Golmohammed, is known as a wife killer, having killed his two previous wives through violence and abuse, and fearing for her life, Sabere manages to escape, finding haven in a safe house run by a male director and several liberal-minded ladies (they don't wear the burqa).
The documentary chronicles Sabere's life in hiding, as the people at the safe house try to help her get legal counsel so that she may file for a divorce from her husband. Sabere is terrified her husband will discover where she is and kill her. Her stepfather appears as a weak man who can't seem to provide for his family, relying on Sabere's skills...
