Domestic Violence
Afghanistans government passed a new
law that prohibited retaliates of the alleged
abusers to testify against them. Domestic
violence has been around for a long time,
but the news hasnt put much importance
to it. The main reason why the people of
afghanistan are making a riot is because
most Domestic Violence is against women,
often relatives are the only witness.
Protest against fraud and violence

Women lost all purpose of being a

human, instead theyre being treated like
property and slaves. This goes against
moral judgment in human equality, why
did society make men more superior
than women. A case for the inequality of
women is a young girl, Sahara Gul, a child
bride who was tortured by her in-laws by
hot irons, bruises and they ripped her

nails off.

Notwithstanding some progress has been

Afghanistans judicial system is
critically underdeveloped and protection of
property rights is weak. The lack of property
registries or a land-titling database leads to
title disputes, and an estimated 80 percent of
land is held and transferred informally due to

Domestic Violence against Women

The lack of consideration in this new law is

unsuitable for the women in the
afghanistan culture. Women have no say in
anything, they're not allowed to have a
choice, an example is when a man wants to
have sexual interactions with a woman she
cannot refuse because in their culture they
have to obey and respect the men .
