Atrocities: 1.5 Million Afghani Widows, Illiterate, Earning $16/Month And Often Forced To Beg or Prostitute Themselves
The following report from IRIN tells the ghastly truth of what it is like for women in the aftermath of decades of militarism in Afghanistan:
“There over 1.5 million widows out of an estimated 26.6 million people in Afghanistan, according to Beyond 9/11, a US-based nonprofit group that provides direct financial support to Afghan widows and their children. Some 50,000-70,000 widows live in Kabul alone, it says.

“The average age of an Afghan widow is just 35 years, and 94 percent of them are unable to read and write,” Deborah Zalesne, a board member of the Beyond 9/11 and a law professor at the City University of New York, told IRIN.
“About 90 percent of Afghan widows have children, and the average widow has more than four,” Zalesne added. To survive many Afghan widows weave carpets, do tailoring, beg or even engage in prostitution. -snip- ----------------------------------------
