đPlease, world, hear the voices of Afghan women. Slogans alone are not enough.
Last night, one of our members from Afghanistan heard a woman and her daughters screaming and crying as the husband was beating them. By morning, the womanâs body was covered in bruises, and her daughters were also in a bad condition. When we asked what had happened, we learned that the husband wanted to marry a second wife and was telling his first wife that she could not have Son . When the wife and daughters opposed his decision, he started beating them.
