Afghan woman shot in face by husband undergoes 22 operations – BBC News

Afghanistan remains one most unsafe places for women to live. Last year official numbers confirmed 3,500 cases of violence against women, and it’s feared the numbers will grow as the security situation in the country deteriorates.

Shakila Zareen, 25, is one of the rare survivors. She was forced into child marriage, raped and underwent 22 operations after she was shot in the face by her husband.

Now she is using her voice to advocate for other women as she recovers.
