From Denny: Fighting for women to be treated decently throughout the world is an ongoing issue. Until other women decide to band together to help each other will the culture change. You can't wait for the men to do it. Women in India have banded together and have found safety in large numbers as they protest wrongs in their culture.
It's a mean-spirited culture toward women like this in Afghanistan that really makes Americans question why we are fighting for their freedom. Afghanistan is a country where NGOs tell us the statistics are that 90% of the women here suffer abuse, rape or murder. It's time for America to leave Afghanistan; this war isn't worth fighting to protect this kind of perverse culture. Fortunately, for these ladies they found a shelter that gives them both safety for now and hope for their future.
