Answer 1

ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) - Kamilat Mehdi was walking home after dark with her two sisters when a man stepped out of the shadows and threw sulphuric acid in her face.

The acid hit the 21-year-old's eyes, nose, mouth, forehead and chest, splashing onto the faces and backs of her sisters beside her, burning flesh wherever it touched.

Though an isolated case, the attack has horrified Ethiopia's reserved and conservative society and cast a searing light on a hidden culture of violence against women.

"This isn't just a crime against Kamilat," said Assefa Kesito, Ethiopia's minister of justice, who visited her bedside.

"This is a crime committed against the state of Ethiopia. A crime committed against my daughter, my sister, my mother."

The attack -- allegedly by a man who had been stalking Kamilat -- came amid recent advances for women's rights in Ethiopia. But official improvements are just part of the story.

A 2005 report by the World Health Organization found just over 70 per cent of Ethiopian women surveyed who had ever been in a relationship had suffered some sort of physical or sexual violence. Sixty-five per cent said it was acceptable to beat a wife for not finishing her housework.

Kamilat and her sisters were attacked on January 6:
The acid burned almost all the skin from Kamilat's face, scorched off an inch of her hairline and destroyed most of her eyelids.

Answer 2

I've never been to ethiopia in person, but my TV seems to take me there often.

So on TV show, "ER" I saw an episode where a woman was rapped by the molishia and she was refusing medical treatment so that her husband would not find out. Somehow, her husband found out and he was then compelled to go and take revenge for her. In doing so, he got killed.

On the Oprah show, reporter Lisa Lang reported a problem of men dumping gasoline on the woman and burning her so that he didn't have to marry her. A little south of ethiopia Lisa Lang also did a report where women were having babies as early as 12 years old. Early pregnancies resulted in miscarriages and a torn hymen. The torn hymen will create an "Un-Godly Smell" which forces the woman to be iscolated from her tribe. Fortunatly, a hospital has been created specifically for repairing the woman's utterious, and these women will walk 100 miles to get this help.
