Stats about Women.

In Afghanistan 60% of the girls are married before the age of 16. Most in their 12, 13 to old men.
By continuing this tradition, it takes the girls out of the education system.
Thus there is an 80% illiteracy rate amongst women in Afghanistan.
Yet we have a president with two daughters who promised to change the world, doing nothing to help change. Even if made the public aware of these stats it would help.

We here at MMM want send out condolences to the family of and add Malalai Kakar to our list of heroes and true martyrs. She was a senior police woman in Afghanistan who fought against child brides and was killed by the Taliban.
