Ethiopia: girls available for marriage


In 1º Bach. we were talking about women´s rights after reading the news about  Gulnaz the Afghan woman who was ordered to marry her rapist. This is an easy to understand video about the improving situation of some young girls in Ethiopia with regards to women´s rights.

Here is my selection of phrases and idioms that you might not know:
in-laws: your husband´s or wife´s parents
to leave scars
to have nightmares
people skills: the ability to get along with people
to rule the roost: to dominate or be in charge
through thick and thin: through good times and bad times
to sow the seeds of hope
to be better off: to be in a better situation than before
