More than 900 days have now passed since girls over 12 were first banned from education. According to Unicef, the ban has now impacted some 1.4m Afghan girls.
The future for many of Afghanistan’s girls is “bleak”, warns Samira Hamidi, Amnesty International’s regional campaigner - pointing to the fact young girls are continuing to be married off when they reach puberty, and are further endangered by the Taliban’s rollback of laws designed to protect women in abusive marriages.
Ban, ban T-Taliban. (that’s for the Shakespeare fans out there). What more proof do we need that men have not evolved beyond primitive beasts than that there is such an organization alive and well in our midst.
But then again, I live in Utah where we still haven’t entered the 20th century (let alone the 21st, I’ve given up hope on that). Here women aren’t allowed to make their own choices and women who do are considered heathens. So we’re not so unlike the middle east here.
I’ll never know the sheer indescribable horror of being a woman in a man-centric ignorant-based universe such as ours, but I’m sure there aren’t words capable of describing such agony. I can only hope we nuke ourselves out of existence, for mankind truly has been nothing but a sick and wretched exercise in perversion from day one.
