Afghan rape victim freed but 'to marry attacker'

Afghan rape victim freed to marry attacker

I'll be looking for traffic online and in media from mainstream feminists but I fear it will be sadly lacking. If I'm wrong, I'll be glad of it.

I would love to have some links in this to the cited "human rights groups" We have one source in Kimberley Motley who I will be contacting soon.

On the subject of the ?EU decision to withdraw the film (from what though - national, european, or worldwide release?) citing the "very real concerns for the safety of the women portrayed"...

It's my personal opinion that individuals should not be sacrificed for causes, unless they explicitly consent. For me, this is a point that seperates humanitatian causes from political - or ideological - ones, and where feminism - as an overt political movement - is weakest and could be very much strenghened.
