Saná. Casada a los 12 años, repudiada a los 16 y desfigurada con ácido por venganza, Al Anud Husein Sharian es un ejemplo del destino reservado a numerosas niñas en Yemen, víctimas de malos tratos y abusos en una sociedad con una misoginia exacerbada debido a la guerra y la pobreza.

A sus 19 años, esta joven de Saná aceptó contar su calvario a la AFP. El velo que usa enmarca una cara desfigurada por el ácido arrojado por su exmarido. "Me agarró del pelo y derramó el ácido riéndose", recuerda Al Anud.
