Link This is the second or third time this has reported on by the BBC - I came on to see if there were any comments as find it so disturbing.
It is reported in such a “neutral” way but it seems like this “selling a daughter” is the “feature not a bug” of women’s status in the Afghanistan. I have never heard this reported from any other famine-struck country - because it’s usually the mothers of the families that are interviewed?
Of course it is a terrible situation but I feel the reporting is complicit to offer this to us as “poor man, he has to sell a child” (the fact that it is going to be the girls that are sold isn’t even in the headline).
