A sinister culture

Here’s a photo of a woman I met. A few months ago she was a beautiful and vibrant 23 year old woman.
 
She has such a great smile that you almost don’t see how disfigured she is when you meet her.
A smile makes a difference. 
If this happened to me I don’t think I could ever smile again. The guy
was my college roommate.
 
The dystopian culture she escaped from seems backed by the Ethiopian government and its religious leaders in some twisted way.
The US is sending her back to Ethiopia. The guy who threw sulphuric acid in her face has vowed to have his family kill her for putting him in jail. Of course first she needs to be disciplined by this evil creature. Apparently God needs him to torture her.
I don’t know how she does it but if you met her you’d only see a vibrant and beautiful woman.
Most people would kill themselves.
The following article is not about her.  It’s about the world that has destroyed so many women like her.
