The level of hatred [or fear] the Taliban have for women in Afghanistan is truly frightening. If women are barred from midwifery and pregnancy courses and information, there will come a point when there are hardly any women left. Already the mortality rate for Afghan women is one of the highest in the world. What happens when there are no women?

@Christo_459 That's just something said in Western freedom, after our governments have left the women alone and put up more and more barriers to migration from Afghanistan!
I am in contact with women who help the women there with materials for handicrafts with which they can secretly earn a little extra money. The work of both the helpers and the women there is life-threatening *every metre and every day* and only possible with extreme tricks.
You don't know the situation.

@NatureMC @Christo_459 @HarriettMB Also, where would they leave to? Most countries are anti immigration these days.. The entire situation is just horrible whichever way you look at it. 😣

@elduvelle No problem! I remember when there was still time to fly out at least the Afghans who had been working for Western forces with their families. Thousands were left behind because of pseudo-debates about whether the whole family should be taken out or only the working man. Until it was too late!

We should be shamefully quiet with quick tips for the afghan women "how to help themselves".
