The Last Torch: The sisters defying the Taliban by singing - 100 Women, BBC World Service

[@SugarQueen972]

Women are not property, they're living human beings! Respect to all women!❤

[@judyfleming6269]

Unfortunately, to the men they are not even property. They are merely the trash they can dumb on the curb and then go find other women. When we first sent soldiers and they went to afghanistan it was bad. I remember decades ago. They found women in their homes huddled crying a corner unable to function due to severe emotional difficulties but could get no medication because it didn't exist for them. They blacked out all the windows that had a female that lived inside and no one could look at a woman. One woman was beaten by men on the street because her sleeve accidently slide back when she moved her arm. And one woman was driving and pulled out and beaten by strangers...men on the street. A girl falsely accused of having a "boyfriend" (she was only talking to him) was arrested for sexual immorality and when she said she was a virgin and done nothing wrong, they (men at the jail) were allowed to rape her. Now no one would believe her and she would be found guilty. The atrocities across the world have grown to the point that my soul grieves that women have become "NON-PEOPLE" and animals are treated with more respect. My prayers are with you women, girls.

Yet, they expect these women to have relations with them, bare children, cook their food. These men should be afraid, afraid the women they silence and abuse don’t stab when they sleep, poison their food. Do they think the women are afraid of death for murdering their husbands. No I don’t believe so, when they are killed, for singing, killed for wanting to go to school, killed for speaking.

[@ponygirl1716]

Yes, these men will subjugate their own mothers. You must understand, they believe they are the agents of God on Earth. They believe they are implementing His will, and no woman, not even a mother, can tell them otherwise. Many Afghan men are not like this, but they are not the ones with the power and the guns.

There’s a lot free women can do! Some ideas include: Support the Afghan Women’s National Soccer Team who now live in Australia (sponsored by Melbourne Victory club, check their website for ways to help) Support refugees or refugee organisations in your community, eg in Melbourne, the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre Donate to organisations like Human Rights Watch who advocate for Afghan women’s rights. There are other ways, Google is your friend!

[@change691]

Just let the women know that you support them by commenting in their videos, stand by them in spirit. Let your disdain of oppressors (like the taliban) be known, use your voice in social media. If you see any petitions that will raise awareness, sign them. Women in the United States had to fight for many years for the same rights that men were automatically given at birth such as : voting, wearing pants, owning land, having a credit card in their name etc. Some of these rights weren't available to women until the late 1970s to the early 1980s, including equal pay. Women have been imprisoned, humiliated, disowned etc. just for wanting equal rights. You must fight to keep your rights daily. They already took our rights to Healthcare away and they aren't going to stop at that, they want to take birth control next. Vote blue to keep them from becoming our taliban in the United States. Before the taliban took over Afghanistan in 1980, the women dressed exactly like us and had all their rights, now they can't get an education or walk in a park. It's religious extremists, like the ones that support the republican party in America. We can help Afghani women by helping ourselves first. If we lose our voices, we'll be helpless to others. 18:14

However it bother me that some of those woman who escape the regime and live in the free democratic country continues to live exactly same way as in their origin country under regime. Can someone tell me why ? Why to emigrate if nothing change.

[@waitaminute2015]

Because their men continue the oppression regardless. Then there's some women enforcing it also. Female cutting still happening in London and the government stays out of it. Reports of many women going to police in England and being told it's a cultural religion issue. Countries are appeasing islamists and women still suffer.

[@waitaminute2015]

Pressure from family and community. Unless they denounce the religion, which is actually a death penalty, not much changes. Not just women but men are also in danger if they denounce Islam. You'd have to give up everyone and everything you know, live in hiding.

[@blessednat9]

Because ISLAM brainwashes. Indoctrinated by pure evil.

[@anderssigeklint8739]

​@@ayeshasiddika9203We have primitive men from primitive cultures who attack swedish women here in Sweden because our women are not covered. This problem we did not have before immigration from islamic nations. As a man I do not understand them because i newer assaulted a woman myself and what i not understand i hate. I realy hate those rapists. In fact i do not ewen want to try understand them. Gretings from Sweden.

[@jennifervan75]

All religions are cuts. If they leave or denounce their cult they'll be ostracised. That plus being in another country that hates you just for coming from the other country makes them more likely to stay with their oppressive family etc

These heroines have inspired me. I'm a Hungarian woman from the capital Budapest, and do street music. The first song the sisters sing, has a Szekler Hungarian tune parallel from Suseni (Eastern Transylvania, RO), also a Turkish one and a Mari one (latter collected by Robert Lach, noted by Zoltán Kodály in his book Hungarian Folk Music). The Hungarian variant also reflects a condition that the lyrical self wants to burst out of. Find the original recording from 1910 in ZTI Hungaricana database: type the audio ID MH - 1263 into the browser and click on Hangfelvétel lejátszása (means Play audio) button. I've just had the brainwave to join The Last Torch as an external supporter, learn the 1st piece from this video, match it with its Hungarian tune parallel into stereo with a friend, include it into an exclusive open mic performance and make it heck viral.

I’d literally felt like I was suffocating I can’t imagine what it’s like for those poor women and the reason they’re wearing them because men can’t be trusted to see a woman without becoming so lustful that he will attack her.

[@VOLightPortal]

It's in the Qu'ran. Whether they hate women or not, they are instructed to and required as written in the scripture. If they don't they aren't Islamic. Even the men are hostages to what is mandatory requirement for behaving. Out of fear of being accused of not being Muslim enough and risk getting killed, they become more radical and extreme over time.

[@purple66666]

You don't understand because you see women as equal and a being to be loved, they see women as lesser beings with rules they must follow for their society to prosper. In other words Iranian women are to iranian men a little more than a cow.

[@trekadouble757]

Men do not have the same capacity for empathy and awarness of other people's needs as women have. They need to be trained a lot, explained things and pointed unfair situations out, before they can by themselves anticipate other people's needs and be caring. If you don't train a man to be caring, he won't be. For different reasons, women are more naturally and more intituively able to notice the emotions and needs of other people, and they don't need to be explained those things as much. They still need to be taught to be empathetic, of course, but it comes more easily.

[@purple66666]

@@trekadouble757 if that were true then why are there so many kids abused by women ?? This is so false and propagandist. ALL have the capacity for empathy and sympathy. The reason why most men tend to not be empathetic or at least sympathetic is because they are taught to repress their feelings, which in turn translates to confusion, frustration and in the end: anger. "Be strong", "Stop crying", "why are you so gay", "Man up" etc. All these hurtful words do is contribute to emotional instability and is one of the main reasons why suicides rates are higher in men. Men are taught to lead individualistic lives among themselves and end up with no emotional support system and thus when the time comes when they are interested in women, they will unpack that suppressed emotion onto the woman and thus the expectation that a woman has the duty to "heal" them, aka. support them emotionally. And this unpacking is not only unfair and anxiety inducing but can also be dangerous, because very often it turns into aggression and hostility when a man's emotional needs are not met. The vice versa is also true. Women can be emotionally unstable too and turn into abusers too. Everyone can be. It all depends on the existence of that support group. That's why we live in tremendously dangerous times when people who don't have it often turn to the internet which is full of people with personal agendas or who are themselves misguided, where the trend is to rebrand movements and twist narratives.

[@Djani_Schetka]

​@@trekadouble757 Can you explain why I, being male, lack such basic things like capabilities to empathize or care for others and require them „taught“ to me? Do you genuinely believe I inherently despise women and want nothing but to control them, and will proceed as such person in life unless I be „trained“? Imagine never in your life having harmed a woman and striving precisely after love and care for them and everyone else, yet come across so many still lumping you together with the filthiest stains of mankind. The overwhelming oppression you've received/witnessed from men must have led you to see all of us in a bad light, that is somewhat understandable. I will tell you, your talking point here barely differs from the one I ever receive from women around me nowadays, but I would never use that as justification to generalize the entire female population, that is anyways seen as despicable, yet you are so fine doing it with others.
