Women's rights in Afghanistan: what worked, what didn't, and why | Jennifer L. Fluri | TEDxMileHigh

[@jthudium]

Jennifer you are SUCH an inspiration. Thank you for this.

[@everythingforeveryone6348]

as an afghan I want to say that no woman is fan of wearing Chaderi or burqa. this statement that wearing burqa is the problem for few women is absolutely wrong

[@deepikagupta8564]

this was really good, could not have said better

[@ishrendon6435]

As a realist im always against going to other cultures and telling them what's right and wrong(as ive figured values and morals differ and its subjective ,yes even a womans role in society is subjective on the culture). Which is why i knew right away this war since 2006 that we were going to lose anyway as soon as you try social engineering youll be met with insurgency and resistance. Not to mention no matter hoe good your interest are, youre still an occupier. As a realist i know societies differ and i truthfully wouldnt intervene anywhere even if atrocities are happening because more often than not we make the problem worse sadly. I wish it wasnt true

[@johnbuckeye9590]

Great point. im thinking american womwncare the ones that docthe most harm in themselves by trying to change social standards in the west, in the name of equality or liberation. Most women in tje west live a lie. But see it. .

[@AngiSullins]

This. Truly powerful. Love love love!

[@m.wenger206]

To all of you women rights supporter and to feminists. Equal rights are desperately needed in the Middle East as well as in Turkey !

Its hard to help women in a culture that seemingly doesnt want to help them.

[@multifan1416]

To help women in Afghanistan we need to help the country first aka get rid of the taliban

@@multifan1416 come and do it :)

[@shadowslayer9988]

​@@multifan1416I do not think the United States wants to be embarrassed twice.

[@johnbuckeye9590]

​@@multifan1416i disagree.. The men of the Afghanistan, didnt think amd dont think its worth the fight. If there own fathers.brotjers or cousin sont care. Why should people in the West? Yo want western military men to die for Afghan women? Not happening.

[@pashtulang]

You are saying the truth. Thumbs up

Power upon U

[@moussaaliali2383]

Thank you for making us understand. Acting for change through the existing beliefs system. Indeed the Religious beliefs unite people. And the approach to make positive changes is throught those system.

[@Nazir-t3x]

what worked? NOTHING what didn't? WESTERN DEMOCRACY AND FEMINISMS why: before attacking Afghanistan you guys should have read its history. this country is at war for almost 300 years because they don't want to adopt westerners' way of life and culture. LEAVE THEM ALONE!
