We need to free girls from their extended family prison

Zahra was in her 20s when the police took their report. She has two brothers, was massively threatened and injured by the older brother, so she decided to leave. Since her earliest childhood, Zahra was not allowed to make her own decisions. She was constantly controlled by the male family members. All the male family members put pressure on her. Especially her eldest brother: "He said he'll kill me if he catches me outside and I don't follow our rules."

And the rules were clear: she must show obedience to her male relatives. Stranger men are taboo. Love having a boyfriend is life threatening. And that's exactly what she experienced when she came home one evening. The brother made his threat while holding a knife to her neck. He said he wouldn't mind if he went to prison for five years. Her mistake: she was spotted on the street with a strange man.
