Equality Has A Long Way To Go

A rape victim has been released from an Afghan jail two years into her 12 year sentence. However, the women named Gulnaz who gave birth to a child in prison after her rape, will have to marry her attacker to be set free. Even though Gulnaz was attacked and raped, the courts deemed that she had committed adultery because she was not married to her attacker at the time. Human rights groups say that Gulnaz is one of hundreds of Afghan women currently in jail because they have been raped or attacked.
