Female Afghan Seamstress

[UNVERIFIED CONTENT] Narguz, 17, (R) makes children's clothes with a sewing machine in her home in Herat (Nov, 29, 2011), as a social worker looks on (L). The teenager was jailed for adultery and spent ten months in the city's Juvenile Rehabilitation Centre after running away from her husband's home, where she says he beat her. The adultery charge was based on two hours she spent in a hotel with another cousin, but she always denied adultery. Afghan social workers, trained by the UK-based charity WarChild, discovered Narguz (not her real name) in prison and then went door-to-door, from her husband's family to her older sisters and her brothers, explaining Narguz's rights, under the law to engineer the unusual rapprochement.
