The world definitely has a responsibility to helping abused young women who have been taken advantage of. According to Rights and Responsibilities, humans have basic rights, which this girl has not been allowed. Additionally, according to Rights and Responsibilities, we as humans have a responsibility to ensure that all human beings receive these basic rights.
Another principle of Catholic Social teaching that should be applied here is solidarity. According to solidarity, we are all brothers and sisters and an image in God's likeness. Therefore, we must stand up for an prevent instances like these, in which innocent girls have been injured or killed.
I believe that the world responds much more when there are global issues such as tsunamis or hurricanes. There is definitely a difference in shock because natural disasters seem to affect more people and are less predictable. However, we are ignorant to the many that are killed such as this girl from Afghanistan.
The seven principles of Catholic Social Teaching teach us that, as God's children, we must protect abused young women.
