Girls for Sale;



A Website of a traditional Paper;
I have been readying this article on Opinion session of New York Times, and this story was about an 18 years old girl sold to prostitute for $10 in Columbia. This was very sad article for me; I thought only women in Afghanistan suffer from un-just laws, un-equality and poverty. Reading this article made me to realize women in another part of the world has even more tougher life.

They play very important role in the society by contributing to the family wellbeing that evenly is community wellbeing as well.
