My Current Event was about an Afghan girl being held and toturted for refusing to go into prostitution. I chose this article because it shows how fast the United States is improving when it comes to a womens rights compared to some other countries. Its also surprising that this crime was commited by soldiers that are supposed to be protecting that country. I also found it kind of gross that the age difference between the victim and her husband was 16 years. Overall I think that the people in the area where this happened do not feel safe due to this event not being uncommon.
Do you think the United States should focus on moving forward in our Women's Rights issues, or convert our focus to helpping countries where unhuman events such as this happen regularly?
