In desperation, afghan wives are burning themselves in public ti escape the terrible derogation they suffer daily from their husbands. I caution you, this video is disturbing .

    • Incredibly sad that social customs and religion conspire to create conditions so terrible that burning yourself in an attempted suicide is your only option.

      When will people who have nothing be allowed to enjoy the nothing they have in peace?

    • Thank you for posting this. While it is very difficult to watch, it is very important. We all need to stand up for the women of the world!
