Possibble Ideas for Human Rights Presentation

I am interested in researching the situation of Afghan women. How they have been lighting themselves on fire in order to escape their abusive families.  I am also interested in researching sex trafficking.

This book and article seem helpful/interesting:

Why do the Afghan women not try to get help? Why can't they go to the hospitals before they light themselves on fire?

I have not begun to research sex trafficking, but why has it become so prominent in the recent years?
