9 Year Old Sold For Families Survival In Afghan!
Parwana's family of eight was just scraping by at a camp for temporarily displaced persons in the war-torn country's Badghis district, where employment was few and foreign help had dried up after the Taliban took power. Abdul Malik, Parwana's father, disclosed to CNN that he had previously sold his 12-year-old daughter a few months earlier. Now he's been pushed to sell his second daughter "in order to keep remaining family ones alive," a move that has left him "torn" with remorse, humiliation, and fear.
The future of a large number of Afghan females is unknown. With the Taliban forbidding women from secondary school and hardship on the rise, a growing number of young females are being forced into marriage.
