Women in Afghanistan
Women in Afghanistan are treated unfairly due to the Talibans
rules. The Taliban imposed an extremely repressive regime on the
Afghan people in special on women. They dont have the same
right that men have. For example women cant work outside home,
also women are banned to study in school, universities or any
other educational institution. They need to cover all his body
wearing a BURKA. Also they cant talk with other people also
women cant drive or travel on the same bus that men do.
Additionally punishment of crimes made by a woman can be far
worse than the men; even women can be punished with death.
Afghan women dont have any human right that women have in
the occident. Now there is a feminist movement called Afghan
Women's Network or AWN that seeks to highlight the role of
women in Afghanistan. AWN tries to protect women and children of
Afghanistan and provides a way for Afghan women to safely
achieve the goal of equal rights with men. Also there is another
movement called RAWA (Revolutionary Association of the Women
of Afghanistan) that tries to convince women to take action against
unjust laws against them. We can see how afghan people are
treated unfairly so we should be grateful to live in a free country
where we can study, we can go to the hospital if we get sick and
travel freely throughout the country without any fear of repression.
Also we can express our feelings and thoughts and the most
important we can relate to other people freely.
