Aghast about Afghanistan

Sometimes the daily lesson is something horrifying. Last night on my way home from work I learned that Afghanistan is considering making rape a crime. Not only is it not currently a crime, but a woman who is raped ... COULD BE CHARGED WITH ADULTERY! The penalty for adultery can be death.

The victimization and revictimization of women is staggering.
