afghan women have suffered and endured so much throughout the history. No living being should have to face such atrocities. sending support as a fellow female❤❤

[lilliankeane]

These women are largely forgotten. 😢. How can this be changed ?

[paulinewhatmore]

Where are the Aghan husbands, brothers and fathers in this situation? Much as my Western heart bleeds for their situation, their own men folk must take action. Change comes from within.

[AsenaT]

Freedom for Afghans girls & women❤

[ebrimajoof-sgwb]

This is not islam women have the right for education and freedom of speech

[muskanbhatia]

The fact that no one even talks about this anymore even though the women are suffering so much 💔

[Nathalieweber-wy]

May Allah help these women. Education is obligatory in islam upon all men and WOMEN. Those ignorant men should not forget that Allah is watching them.

[serbanioana]

Why they hate women so much? What's happening is inhumane! No one should have to live like this, it's horrifying!

[irfanhabib-yxqm]

Surah Al-Hujurat (49:6), which states:
"O you who have believed, if there comes to you a disobedient one with information, investigate, lest you harm a people out of ignorance and become, over what you have done, regretful."

[chariblackwood]

My heart and soul goes out to the brave scared strong women. My positive vibes and prayers go to giving these beautiful women to stay strong until the world pays attention and stops the horrendous regime! Please stand strong, stay safe

[AsenaT]

Shame onTali, ban restricting looking from the window for Afghan women😡

[mst_takia]

Didn't you cry when innocent people were killed in the so-called Afghanistan invasion ???

[UmairMinhas-jg]

Your programme is outstanding, I like it very much❤

[AsenaT]

3:15 THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE & UNACCEPTABLE.😮

[daniellebrandon]

A great tragedy is the suppression and explotation of all people everywhere. While I am in support of whatever the Afghan women need. I think it is completely unfair to ignore the very real plight of poor young men in Afghanistan that are going through horrific things all in the name of
Bacha bazi, a shameful barbaric and primitive historic practice that should be outlawed and banned but the US stood on the side of those who were practicing such depravity during the war. This should be highlighted in the news right along the plight of Afghan girls.

IMPORTANT NOTE: "Do not confuse Islam with the actions of those who misunderstand or misrepresent it. Your ignorance has fueled hatred towards Islam, so before commenting, ensure your words are based on knowledge, not misconceptions."

[AsenaT]

Freedom for education, stop Tali, ban, oppression.

[VictorGalamba-us]

I hope these women can achieve their rights to the point of freeing themselves from the Taliban regime and perhaps even from Islam.
