Anyone? Is There Anyway to Helpt Afghan Women? Any Organization? |
|
Does anyone know if there are organizations that help Afghan women? Is there anyway to just take an Afghan widow to help out?
I just watched Cnn's Lifting the Veil yesterday and my first reaction was that maybe there was a way to actually give support to one of the widows. Their lives are so awful. Is their anyway to help?

by a husband or father..
The sad thing is that in the 50's Afghanistan was not at all like now.. A woman made a documentary ( I forget the name of it now) about how it used to be.. She wore western clothing as a young woman, went to college, and the desolate areas of the country were once productive agricultural areas.. She interspersed the documentary footage with photographs & family films of the same places as she traveled around..
Fundamentalist religion can and does destroy countries.. It probably takes 3-4 times longer to get rid of that thinking, than it does to adopt it..
The men in charge will NEVER willingly give up powers they have now..
