Children in Afghanistan are suffering from serious child abuse and high levels of mortality.

United Nations officials, speaking in Kabul, have said children are being deprived in the worst possible ways with their rights being neglected despite vast flow of Western aid into the country.

The Kabul news conference, marking the 20th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, was told Afghanistan has the highest infant mortality rate in the world; thirty per cent of children are involved in child labour; forty-three per cent of girls are married under age.

More than one in five children born in Afghanistan dies before the age of five, according to UNICEF estimates.

Members of Afghanistan's Independent Human Rights Commission spoke about reports of sexual exploitation of children by combatants from past military conflicts.

They said Afghanistan has had some of the highest figures of sexual abuse in recent years.

Islam is the most vile enslaving force on the planet!
Look at the ban list enforced by the Taliban upon the people of Afghanistan.
Now if only the Afghan people would stand up and say no to the Taliban.

Are all Afghans sexually abused in their childhood?

It`s shame to Afghans who are exploited sexually in their time of childhood.
It`s natural that the sexually abused children act brutally when they are
grown-up. They can`t earn their livlihood by descent way but use robbery,
sell narcotics, become corrupted when in Government office and become
mercenary soldiers for Pakistan. The cowardly attitude of Afghans who
are grown-up but have been exploited sexually in childhood, can`t defend
their own mother-land .... Afghanistan but wait for Pakistani soldiers who
can, potentially satisfy them with their best sexual strength !!!!

re: Bangla-deshi

Those comments are inappropriate. I doubt Bangla desh count fight Russians for ten years, the Wahabists for 6 years, then defeat NATO within seven. I would like to know what bengalis have accomplished in the past ten years. Soon, Pakistan will fall under the weight of its own hubris while India’s star is rising.
