The women of Afghanistan have suffered the abominable treatment mated to them by the Taliban group,the women have been shut to all facilities and all facets of life.Even animals have a say in the society.
There are issues of a minor forced in marriages at the ages of 10.They are not allowed to move around only with the supervision of a male guardian (mahram).They have been asked to put on the Burka to hide their faces except from their spouses.
There have been restrictions on female education,they put an end to their education at 6th grade deprived of higher education,this limits their opportunities for personal and professional development.
They can only be attended to by female medical personnels,they do not have access to healthcare and support services.How can one get a female medical personnel if they are not in turn given access to higher education.
There are cases of forced and early marriages.Sexual abuse has become the order of the day,women have been banned from public speaking,they do not have the right to participate in political activities.
In addition to stopping higher education,international NGOs including programmes led by UNICEF was banned from providing community based education.The Afghan women do not have rights to anything as we speak they have been reduced to nothing but moving objects.WHAT CAN BE DONE TO HELP THEM REGAIN THEIR FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS AND HOW CAN THIS BE DONE?
