i remember the first time i heard about afghanistan. it was through a girly magazine and it really moved something inside of me. women, forced to hide under heavy body length burkas, forced to go backwards- educated women confined to their homes, women of all ages thirsting for knowledge. no freedom, no rights, beatings for showing a flash of wrist or for being outside without a male relative. i can't channel enough of how i feel...
there's a really great article about the persistance of afghanistans registering to vote... election workers being killed and their coworkers still persisting.. i couldn't find it online, but check out "Why I Believe In A New Afghanistan" by Tamim Ansary.
