Why should you care about what goes on in other parts of the world? This is something we ask ourselves on a daily basis and when we come across different petitions for various causes we tend to ignore it; we shouldn't. Truth is everyone around the world has a connection, so it's time to take a stand and support Women Right's in Afghanistan. While you are able to do whatever you want, women in Afghanistan are constantly hiding and fighting for survival. Women in Afghanistan: -are constantly being attacked by abuse, threats, sexual harassment, honor killings and rapes -are not allowed in the public without a male blood relative -denied education, employment, freedom of movement and political participation and representation - have no say in marriage -forced to get married -have no say in divorce -trapped in their marriages Sadly, Afghan women & girls resort to suicide to put themselves out of misery. But if we all get together and help the women in Afghanistan we can save many lives. We all can help change Afghanistan's laws and enforce strict punishment against anyone who provokes violence against discriminated minority( especially afghan traditionalist.)To help protect these women we need to start by teaching the men right from wrong, their "traditional" ways should not be viewed as traditions but as crime against human rights.
