VOICED: Opium tears poor Afghan families apart

The video discusses Yakima, a 60-year-old grandmother in Afghanistan, who became addicted to opium after using it for pain relief. Her addiction has deeply affected her family, with all seven of her children also using drugs. The family's dire financial situation has led to malnutrition and abuse. The video highlights the challenges faced by rehabilitation centers for women, where many patients relapse due to societal stigma and lack of support. Authorities are urged to focus on treatment rather than just eradicating poppy fields.
