Katie Couric in Afghanistan
Katie Couric reports on the stories of teenage girls turned away from their homes as part of her series on Afghanistan—and asks whether the U.S. will stand by them.
To Katie Couric's right is 14-year-old Deeya, who was forced to marry a 55-year-old man. To her left is Mina who was turned away by her family. Both found themselves in this women's shelter organized by “Women for Afghan Women.”
Katie Couric poses for a photograph with a number of girls at a women's shelter. Some had been raped, others fled their homes after they were sold by family members or forced into engagements. Others fled abusive husbands.
