This video details the horrifying experiences of several Iraqi women who have gone so far as to set themselves on fire to escape the abuse of their husbands and families. Over 600 burn cases have occurred in the past five years, with many of the women not admitting to them being self-inflicted. On a positive note, there is a shelter that acts as a support network for these women, so that they would not have to resort to suicide.
