Tala, oh, this is heartbreaking. This woman is courageous beyond measure.
she is courageous, and hope she'd be strong enough to endure the separation from her kids, the positive thing is that she is alive, no one knows what could happen in the next few years, but without laws, it will remain a hell on earth for women in Afghanistan and elsewhere, including Jordan.
Help JS Huntlands raise awarness for Domestic Violence by ordering Nick Twisted Minds on-line or at your local book store
A quiet and studious young lady, ‘Tanya’ causes very little difficulty for her parents. Responsible and well grounded, she maintains modest goals. Possessing a sparse romantic history, she is quite pleased when she meets a man named ‘Nick’ through a mutual friend. Before long the pair begins dating and find each other highly attractive. Believing that her new love embodies many of the traits she so highly values, Tanya agrees to cohabitate with Nick. Unfortunately, she finds herself pregnant and soon discovers that who she thought was the love of her life has been far less than forthright. To her great dismay, this revelation begins a downward spiral from which her very existance is threatened
very sad indeed. An eye opening video for me.
