Herat province -- Afghanistan, Sep.2007: This 12-y-old girl has been given in a forced marriage and she faces violence by her husband everyday. Family violence and child marriage is common across Afghanistan and tens of women every month commit self-immolation to get rid of their desolation.
She says: "Please help me get divorce, next time he will kill me, he injured me with a knife."
