LinkedIn..Athena Ives Sexual Trauma Researcher and Educator San Diego, California, United States ...I risked my life to protect these women, and I would gladly deploy tomorrow if I could. To everyone saying that we should have never been in Afghanistan to begin with, let me remind you. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” Women were being shot in the street for not having a male relative escort. Husbands were allowed to rape their wives. Many of which were 12 years old because the age of marriage for a female was when she bled. Women had no access to healthcare because women were not allowed to work or attend school. Women were stoned to death for being unclean because a man raped her. I risked my life to protect these women, and I would gladly deploy tomorrow if I could. To those of you out there leaving comments that we should have never been there on posts about the men and women that were killed, do you support the rape, starvation, and murder of women? You more than likely live in a country where women and children don't endure these crimes, and you have that freedom because of the very people you are desecrating with your comments. Maybe we should send you there, and you can see first hand, like many of us already have. The laws I list in the comments would have been enforced if the US and other Allied forces had done nothing. #Afghanistan #Kabul #Veterans #Heroes #military #womensrights
