Afghan woman banned from going to university wishes 'God had never created women'

The 19-year-old was left devastated after she was about to become the first person in her family to go to university, and a number of protests have since broken out in the country.

"We might as well not live at all," she sobs in a clip from the BBC. "We are being treated worse than animals."
