Whether or not you …
Whether or not you consider this propaganda, if over 80% of women in the country are suffering from domestic abuse – would you not see this as a problem? I have little patience for those that would chew on outside issues while the targeted aim of ending violence and mistreatment of women in this clip is left ignored. Yes there is domestic violence worldwide, including north america or europe or parts of asia – but those women can more easily find help. This is about women without a voice.

I’m so sorry for …
I’m so sorry for the women and kids growing up and living like this. I hope the U.S. with all those troops and all the money being spent can make some improvements in all this, that lasts.

How often do the …
How often do the men in the UK have family members partake in their act of abuse?

This woman in the video lost all of her children in the end. How desperate was she to leave the shelter or is the new man finally good to her?

Yes, this does paint a negative image, but if you were to get a point across to show the seriousness of a situation, would you paint it in a positive way? Though I do not know how, in terms of this issue it could be painted as such.

Abuse is everywhere …
Abuse is everywhere but it is very rare that a husband who tortured his wife could get legal custody of their children. A law that allows something like that is the really scary part in this story.

I am sure this …
I am sure this happens everywhere in the world.

There are clinics in the UK where women who get physically abused by their husbands go and get counselling.

This video portrays a negative image about the people of Afghanistan but more importantly, points the finger at Afghan men and Islam indirectly.

This is a meaningless video.
