Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan (please help!)
« on: October 05, 2003, 07:23:45 am »
Since the fall of the Taliban, Afghan women are now able to go back to school! (Whoop whoop!) However, most school have been destroyed, and there is little funding for school supplies. I'm not sure if you guys know, but there are many fund raisers and campaigns to help out the women of Afghanistan. you can go here: http://www.feminist.org/afghan/intro.asp to join an action team, send money, or buy crafts. All proceeds go to the women of Afghanistan.

If you don't want to send money, then you can do what my Junior Ladies of Charity group is doing and send school supplies. Please help guys, they need us.

If you have no idea who or what the Taliban is, then go here: http://www.feminist.org/afghan/facts.html to read up.

*note*please no debating or arguing or anything like that, i started this thread to gain awareness, and it'd be super if we could keep it that way!

BUMP BUMP BUMP

I've been trying to contact a few organizations who send money over to see if it is possible to just send school supplies over, but none have contacted me so far. *shrugs* I will make it work!

Anywhose, I bumped this because i think it is very important, and something that people need to know about. I have also found another website: http://www.helpafghanwomen.com/ where you can donate money!

Please guys, i'm begging you to at least look at the webpages!
