    so sad...there was a documentary on Australian TV just recently about all the women who have been forced to beg because their husbands have died in the fighting and they have no other means of support.... and how they are looked down upon by the male members of the community...as if it is their fault!!!

    This is so sad, and the washed out, pale look echoes her hopelessness. Excellent and educational photo.
