Afghan Women Face Continuing Restrictions On Education, Work

Former Afghan university student Farzana Haidari now runs a sewing machine in Ghor Province. She had nearly completed her degree in Persian language and literature when the Taliban shut down studies for women. The regime has broken its pledges to allow education and professional careers for females.

Solidarity to the women - and sane decent men - of Afghanistan. Nevermind the vile comments that tend to appear under these videos ("they got what they wanted/deserved", "it's their culture", "and what about x/y/z thing that has nothing to do with this video?"): I know you didn't want this but had no way to stop it, and I know I'm not alone in that. Please don't give up, you have not been forgotten ❤

In Sha Allah soon the women Education will be Started at Higher level. But Needs separate institutions for females, We hope Government of Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan wil think over it..

[@1midnightfish]

Why, why, WHY should education be segregated by gender, or race, or religion, or ability, whyyyy?? Can't people see it doesn't make any sense and only causes harm? 😩
