This is what ever Multiply decides to 'export'. There will be no new posts here, this is for every thing from Multiply and 360 that the 'export tool' safely delivers.
It is my understanding that Afghani women, at one point, had far more freedoms than they do now, before interference from the US and USSR. At this point I am also reading or understanding that we are using Saudi units to "help" us in Afghanistan and that Saudis are among the most conservative or fundamental of Muslims. This causes me great fear for these beautiful young women.
more positive news !!!!!! Loved it - note the Womans Radio Show , Radio Sahar ( thats my stepddaughters name ! )
Center Promotes Female Journalism in Afghanistan A few months ago, the first Women’s Journalism Center was opened in Afghanistan’s western province of Herat. The center’s objective are to train female journalists and to help them find jobs in the growing media industry in Afghanistan. The center provides support and encouragement, and a place to learn and develop one’s journalism skills.
According to an article recently published by the Afghan Women’s Writing Project online magazine, the center is in the “process of setting up a website and intends to hold practical courses for women journalists as well as establish a radio and television station for women journalists in Herat.”
The idea for the center evolved from a journalism program established in Herat University eight years ago. While the establishment of the class took the first step towards helping women to enter the field of journalism, it didn’t lead to jobs for the women, because the support system was not there. The center is hoping to change that.
The director of the center is Fawzia Fakhri, a newscaster for Radio Sahar, an all-women radio station.
fantastic news, the more I think about this the more I want to go back there, but I don't think that will ever be possible. I enquired once a couple of years ago about doing voluntary work with women in Afghanistan but it was far too expensive, no sponsorship, you have to pay for every thing yourself and still somehow find the money to keep your home going back here.............was very sad not to be able to do it.
