Sahib Delan making bread in Chitral, Pakistan

There was a shortage of iodine in the water in Moroy. This affected primarily the women, because if Chitral women never leave their home but once in their entire life, and that is when they move from their father’s house to their new husband’s house.

Because of this lack of mobility, women and girls in Moroy tend to develop goiter. Sahib Delan had a small goiter, but her sister-in-law had very large goiter.
