Women in Afghanistan

This is a video report on a 18 year old girl, at least to me she still is, who, married at 11, was trying to show her anger and possibly end her life by setting herself on fire. She set herself on fire because she had had it with her older husband who is a drug addict. she stopped in the middle of it because she thought of her children.She is in extreme pain and after a couple weeks she has no choice but to go back to her home with her husband. Currently, there is a women in government who is working on getting more rights for these women who are at the mercy of their men. She is a hero.
