Presentation Transcript

Slide 1: 

Woman in Afghanistan’s Rights.

Slide 3: 

Women’s Rights In Afghanistan

Slide 4: 

Woman rights are being abused and ignored. Our studies are based in Afghanistan. Afghanistan is a country in between the continents of Europe and Asia in a region called Eurasia.

Slide 5: 

The abuses are all over Afghanistan, particularly where the Taliban are strong. Women’s rights abuses also happen in the U.S.A, Bangladesh, North Africa, India and many other countries.

Slide 6: 

During the rule of the Taliban, women were treated worse than in any other time or by any other society. They were forbidden to work, leave the house without a male escort, not allowed to seek medical help from a male doctor, and forced to cover themselves from head to toe, even covering their eyes. Women were suddenly forced to be beggars and even prostitutes in order to feed their families.

Slide 8: 

The Taliban is behind a lot of these violations. The Taliban is a political group that had governmental control of Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. The Taliban still have control of some things that happen in Afghanistan today.

Slide 9: 

Violence against women is generally based on the incorrect but common assumption that women are of less value than men. It is based on discrimination of age, race, colour, religion and opinion. In some religions they believe that women should not be at the same level as men. They should keep themselves covered and not exposed.

Slide 10: 

Women’s Rights Violations

Slide 11: 

Women are not allowed to work or even go out in the public without a male relative. Homes where a woman is present must have their windows painted so that she can never be seen by outsiders. They must wear silent shoes so that they are never heard. Women are always at risk of being abused sexually by soldiers.

Slide 15: 

Many of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that are linked with women’s rights are violated in Afghanistan.

Slide 16: 

All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. But in Afghanistan, women are not treated equal to men; they are of a lower standard than men and are denied equal rights.

Slide 17: 

Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex etc. Women are discriminated against because of their gender.

Slide 18: 

Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment. During the time that the Taliban was in power women that were doctors and teachers were forced to become beggars and even prostitutes in order to feed their families.

Slide 19: 

No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. 1 in every 3 Afghan women experience physical, psychological or sexual violence.

Slide 20: 

Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution. Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.

Slide 21: 

70 to 80 percent of women face forced marriages in Afghanistan Women are also often denied the right to an education as 87 percent of Afghan women are illiterate and 30 percent of girls have access to education in Afghanistan.
