Women in AFGHANISTAN

Women in veil: women in Afghanistan fighting against the Taliban.

“My daughters are at home because schools are closed for them . My dreams for their future are all shattered. My life becomes bitter when I see my daughters bitter ,when I see my daughters with a disappointed look on their face.”

Fighting, struggling for their rights. Women in Afghanistan were and are fighting for their right to speak, education. They were denied of their freedom. Girls were denied of even school education; women are systematically excluded from public and political life and restricted in their access to employment, justice and health services. In the month of August 2021,Taliban took over the Afghanistan and the crucial state of women begins there on. Despite initial promises that women would be allowed to exercise their rights within sharia law which includes the right to work and to study, the Taliban has systematically excluded women and girls from public life. But these atrocities didn’t let down the spirit of the Afghani women. They continue to fight  for themselves, their freedom of speech, liberty ,work and education is their own and nobody can seize it. They set the example of women power .The year 2022 is all of them,they rise, speck, fight and shine like a star and a sun. They are unstoppable and brave, writing their own story boldly and bravely. The world needs a shout out for their struggle, should empower them. We hope that this New Year brings the sun of happiness and freedom for them, and that the chain of slavery and injustice will be broken down.



LIFE BECAME A NIGHTMARE

Life has become a nightmare for the Afghani women, they are abounded from living a normal life. Living amidst fear and cruelty they are struggling for their family ,will life be normal for them ever again? Will they ever be able to live with dignity and without fear ever again? Will they be able to win their war? Will they be heard? There are lots of questions but there is no one to answer, how long these women have to fight. This is a question for the world, for the popular leaders. The Afghani women need to be heard and empowered, this is the time to wake up and act. To crush the injustice and brutalism. This cruelty is against humanity and we should fight together. Education is their right and no one should have that power to seize it, they have to depend on their male counterpart for every single routine of their life. These women do not deserve this, they should be allowed education, work, politics participation to raise their voice, to drive, to be out and more. They are denied of an independent life, their struggle is magnificent and brave. Lets come together to empower them, the world needs to be a better place where all should have a peaceful and dignified life.

The Predicament of Women Refugees in India

  The Predicament of Women Refugees in India  A refugee is defined as 'a person forced to emigrate for political reasons,' according to the definition available in Merriam-Webster. However, being a refugee is not merely a word but rather a predicament of being stateless. According to the 1951 United Nations Human Rights Council, 'a refugee is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, and membership of a particular social group or political opinion.' Hence, any person who has been forced to flee his or her country because of persecution, war, or violence is known as a refugee. The term 'refugee' is derogatory, implying homelessness, vulnerability, and alienation, and giving a status of destitution to people who had to seek asylum for survival. Asylum seekers, especially women, who are the most vulnerable group against war crimes and crimes against humanity,

Across the Red Threshold: Rethinking Menstruation to Reconstruct Mentality

The adolescent girls make up around 10% of the total Indian population. The reproductive and mental health of these young women holds a major significance for they are going to be the child bearers and contribute to the healthy population. We are on the path of modernization with the advent of science and technology. However the question needs to be raised is about the penetration level of modernity in our Indian society especially in the hinterland areas. More than two-thirds of India's population, or 833 million people, reside in rural areas. Rural-urban distribution is 68.8% and 31.2% respectively. According to a report by NGO Dasra, 23 million girls drop out of school every year in India due to a lack of menstrual hygiene management facilities in schools. Menstruation acts as a catalyst in the process of transforming a young girl into a mature woman. Menarche is the most crucial phase of a girl's life which is a gesture in itself that she is no longer a girl now

"Echoes of Hope Amidst Desolation: A Migrant Woman's Journey”

FOREWORD: This blog is a plea of a troubled woman in the form of a letter that is powerful and poignant. This piece targets the psychological and mental state of a woman. Furthermore, it aims at capturing the emotional turmoil and resilience of a migrant woman trapped in a cycle of violence and displacement.  To  The In Charge of My Fate, Today marks eight years since I landed in this labyrinth of violence, terror, and atrocities. Eight years since I was separated from my haven, my cradle. Eight years since I became chained to catastrophe and violence. Every day, if I manage to wake up alive, I ponder the same question repeatedly: Will I ever break free from this abyss, or will I remain trapped here indefinitely? My calloused limbs and scarred body bear witness to the trials endured, the battles fought, and the wounds inflicted upon my soul. Each day, as I navigate this desolate existence, I cling to the flicker of hope that refuses to be extinguished, a beacon guiding me t
