Self-Immolation in Afghanistan

Nurse Zaidullah Zia, 27, changes the bandages of Farzana, after she underwent skin graft surgery in the burn center of the Herat Regional Hospital in Herat, Afghanistan, August 3, 2010. Farzana tried to commit suicide by self-immolation after being beaten by her in-laws. Farzana and her brother were engaged to two siblings, and when Farzana's brother took another woman, Farzana suffered the wrath of her in-laws as retalliation; she burned herself to escape the abuse. Hundreds, if not thousands, of Afghan women commit suicide by self-immolation each year to escape abusive marriages and in-laws; divorce is considered too shameful of an option for a woman who wants to leave a marriage, and thus suicide is a more viable option. As Afghanistan continues along the path of war and economic recession, the number grows. (Photo by Lynsey Addario/Getty Images Reportage)
