RAPE IN AFGHANISTAN A PROFOUND PROBLEM

"Rape in Afghanistan is under-reported, concealed and a human rights problem of "profound proportions"... field research conducted late last year and early this year found rape affected all parts of Afghanistan, across all communities and social groups.... Women and girls are at risk of rape in their homes, in their villages and in detention facilities... Rape occurs within the family and beyond and victims are often prosecuted for committing adultery..."
