Afghan woman is killed 'for giving birth to a girl'

There's no rationale to it, murdered because she gave birth to a girl. Beggers belief. Desperately sad. Especially for the daughters left behind.

Yep... its tragic because so many 1000s of women have lost their lives needlessly. But it is convenient to blame the women in a male dominated society.

unfortunately Afghanistan is known for its poor treatment of women

Women are treated as chattels in many parts of Afghan society. Disposable and replaceable. Poor woman and poor children for losing their mother.

We watched an army programme last night about the British fighting the afgan's and they were using their children as shields so the British would not fire. It disgusted me...then I read this this morning

Poor woman. It's unbelievable to think this can and does happen in this day and age! I was shocked to see it was a woman who helped kill her!! Whats all that about?? xxx
