Aug 31, 2004; Kabul, Afghanistan; FILE PHOTO: Date unknown; The husband of Marum (35) was killed by a warlord's soldiers when they stormed the business he was working at in Kabul during a battle. She has been a widow for nearly five years, has two daughters ages 7 and 15. Marum makes a living cleaning one of the learning centers set up by (RAWA) Revolutionary Association of Woman of Afghanistan. At the centers, women, girls and boys are taught math, English, and Persian. They have a computer learning center with very outdated computers. The women are taught to better themselves through education. From the Russians to the Taliban the women of Afghanistan have suffered the brunt of decades of war in this country. Once widowed women rarely ever remarry, often because of pressure from a husbands family. With marriages starting from age 15 to 25, many widows are destined to a life of poverty. Most of these women, many with children, have never been to school, never learned to read or write and have no job skills. Some are forced to be prositutes and beggers in the streets of Kabul to survive.
