This news takes place in Afghanistan and summarizes interviews of different women who have been battered and overvalued, and how the government does not do anything to stop it. The news says that the Ulema Council said that women were secondary to men, should never travel without male chaperons and should neither work nor study if it meant mixing with men.

In my country this also happens, although we do business as usual. The situation is the same.

I do not think a group or one person can do something. This is a question of many people. To solve these problems is that the battered woman or the people around this woman explain her situation.
