I read the book by about Meena the founder of RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan) and it changed everything I thought about Afghanistan. Her story must be told as it tells the real story of the roots of what is going on there.

I hope other people will read it too.

Is this prison supposed to be a place to house women dangerous women. What logic is this? Perhaps this will be a safer place to be in than at home or in school where the are brutally attacked just being alive.

I complety agree. Some of these "women's" prisons are for women who have been rapped. It's a place for punishment for the women but it does however protect them from being murder (honor killings) by their family's for being disgraced.
