It's more than 8 years since the Taliban ruled Herat but for many women here, life has barely changed. In this refuge called 'Voice of Women', Suraya tries to combat the abuse of women under President Karzai. 'Forced and child marriage has not reduced since 2001. It's still a common practice' says Suraya. For those not lucky enough to make it to her shelter, prison is the alternative. Young girls are charged with 'running away from home' and 'adultery'. 'Here rape is considered adultery' reveals Suraya. 12 year old Nadia says she 'doesn't know how to live' anymore after being raped and charged with adultery. Earlier this year President Karzai passed a law stopping women from going out without men, restricted their power of divorce and enforced sex at least every four days. He reviewed the law after local and international pressure. But for those brave enough to fight for women's rights, the stakes are getting higher - the Taliban are targeting and assassinating activists. 'I would like to suffer today for women's rights' says Suraya. Will the women's rights movement be able to turn the democratic process to their advantage?
