Afghan women protest again
Dressed in hijabs and black scarves, they took to the streets to strongly support the right to education And an end to the genocide of the Hazaraan ethnic group to which about 9 percent of the country’s population belongs, whose members are largely Shia Muslims.
The anger of the Taliban falls on them
But the brutal violence of the authorities hit them with force. The protesters said they were beaten, despite having no weapons, but only chanting slogans. “They beat us with sticks and also shot us in the air to disperse us. Please take our voice around the world why we’re not safe hereSaid one of the demonstrators.

But Afghan women do not give up

Women’s rights no longer exist
In Afghanistan, since the return of the Taliban regime women have practically been deprived of the possibility of living. Quickly almost all rights have been taken away from them which had been conquered after very long times and exhausting struggles.
To the women they were higher education and public office are prohibited. But they have also been banned from sports and discouraged from leaving home without a male relative.
Afghan women, however, have always lived as fighters and they don’t know what resignation is: and even though they disappeared behind the black drapes and the folds of the burqa and putting their lives at risk every time, they do not stop fighting to regain all lost rights.
