Reading Guidelines for A Woman Among Warlords, pp.1-18 1 – What do we learn about the lives of average Afghan women, men and children? Afghan women are much inferior to men in Afghanistan: A woman should never be seen in public without male company, girls are sold into marriage, and rape goes unpunished every day. In Afghanistan, lives of both men and women are subject to violence, war and injustice. Desperate poverty sets the life expectancy of both men and women at around 45 years. Around eighty percent of women and half of afghan men are illiterate.
Because many people feel that they alive yet dead, not being able to do as they want, always having to answer to someone else, tired of living in poverty and feeling there is no hope for a better life. They get caught in the people trafficking. The USA estimates that there are between 700,000 and four million persons trafficked across international borders, with some 50,000 of them to the US. Mostly women are caught up in these rings because they are used as prostitutes, domestic servants, and sweat shops, etc. They have been promised a new life but received unsafe and unhealthy working conditions and the risk of AIDS and other STDS.

I’ll start off with General Strain theory, it states that strain can be caused by failure to achieve positively valued stimuli, the loss of positively valued stimuli, and presentation of negative stimuli. In Compelled to Crime, the African American battered women were overwhelmed with strain, in response they acted out by committing an array of different crimes. The reasoning behind this could be because of their low levels of social support. The African American battered women did not have a lot of support; they were most of the time cut off from their families and friends. Another example of how strain applies to these women can be seen in Agnew’s writings when he said “Data suggest that child abuse and neglect negative school experiences, chronic unemployment, and residence in deprived communities are important causes sate anger and that such anger explains much of the effective of strains on crime.” (Agnew, Chp.
