***The "Religion of Peace" is at it again. If you're past puberty and you are a female you have no rights.***File picture, not the victim.A 14-year-old Afghan girl was beheaded and killed in an attack by two men, one of whom apparently asked her to marry him.The attack happened Tuesday, aday before new legislation was introduced in Congress calling on theU.S. government to take steps to help protect Afghan women and girls asthe U.S. military prepares to exit Afghanistan.Gasitina, a student, was beheadedin the Imam Sahib district of Kunduz province. The attack was initiallyreported by local media, and was confirmed by Amnesty Internationalresearcher Horia Mosadiq in an email.The girl was fetching water whenshe was accosted, according to reports. The men, who have not beenidentified, were arrested by police. The girl and her parents hadrefused a marriage proposal by one of the men, according to the AmnestyInternational report.This was the 15th deadly attack on a female victim in Kunduz in 2012, the human rights organization said."Amnesty International is veryconcerned about the violations against women in Afghanistan," saidCristina Finch, director of the organization's Women's Human Rightsprogram.Amnesty reported a similarincident in October, when a young woman was murdered and her throatslashed. In that case, the woman apparently refused to work as aprostitute.Although it appears such attacksare increasing in frequency, it may be that the world outsideAfghanistan is just beginning to hear about them, Finch said.On Wednesday, Sen. Bob Casey, aDemocrat from Pennsylvania, and Kay Bailey Hutchison, a Republican fromTexas, introduced the Afghan Women and Girls' Security Promotion Act. Ifpassed in its current form, the bill addresses how women's securitywill be monitored as the U.S. military withdraws from the country.The bill also calls for improved gender sensitivity amongAfghanistan's national security forces and recruitment of women withinthe ranks of those forces.Amnesty International USA's executive director Suzanne Nossel applauded Casey and Hutchison for introducing the bill."As the United States military transitions out of Afghanistan, Afghanwomen's human rights continue to be at grave risk and demand urgentattention," Nossel said in a statement. "The fate of women will be acrucial determinant of that country's prospects for a stable andprosperous future."In a report on Afghan violence against women, Amnesty Internationalwrote that one of the justifications of the U.S. military going into thecountry in 2001 was to ensure the protection of human rights, includingwomen's rights."More than 10 years after theoverthrow of the Taliban, modest advances have been made for girls andwomen in Afghanistan," the report said. "But much remains to be done.Peace talks between the Taliban, Afghan government and the U.S.jeopardize even these modest gains as the U.S. searches for a quickexit."
