Book excerpt: The international reconstruction effort in Afghanistan after 2001 created an opportunity to advance women’s rights. Among the most important developments was the 2009 Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) Law. This report focuses on the experiences of Afghan women in their attempts to pursue justice through Afghanistan’s courts, and the obstacles they face. Although full implementation of the EVAW law remains elusive, with families and police often deterring women from registering complaints, the law has driven slow but genuine change for Afghan women. With the Taliban taking increasing control of Afghanistan, and donor funding declining alongside the withdrawal of foreign troops, Afghan women’s rights groups fear that laws such as EVAW will be increasingly in danger. Human Rights Watch urges Afghanistan’s government to investigate and prosecute all offenses under the EVAW law. Donors should advocate forcefully that any settlement to the conflict preserve protections for women’s rights, including the EVAW law.

Download or read book Freedom on the Frontlines written by Lina AbiRafeh and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-02-10 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Afghan women were at the forefront of global agendas in late 2001, fueled by a mix of media coverage, humanitarian intervention and military operations. Calls for "liberating" Afghan women were widespread. Women's roles in Afghanistan have long been politically divisive, marked by struggles between modernization and tradition. Women, politics, and the state have always been intertwined in Afghanistan, and conflicts have been fueled by attempts to challenge or change women's status. It may appear that we have come full circle twenty years later, in late 2021, when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban once more. Women's rights in Afghanistan have been stripped away, and any gains--however tenuous--now appear lost. Today, the country navigates both a humanitarian and a human rights crisis. This book measures the rhetoric of liberation and the physical and ideological occupations of Afghanistan over the twenty-year period from 2001 through 2021 through the voices, perspectives, and experiences of those who are implicated in this reality--Afghan women.

Download or read book Hidden Wars written by Sara E. Davies and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2024-03-22 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Hidden Wars, Sara E. Davies and Jacqui True examine the relationship between reports of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) and structural gender inequality in three conflict-affected societies in Asia--Burma, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka. Based on extensive field research and an original dataset on conflict-related SGBV, Davies and True show how reporting is significantly constrained by a variety of factors, including normalized gendered violence as well as political dynamics affecting local civil society, humanitarian, and international organizations. They address the real-world limitations of data collection and argue that these constraints reinforce a culture of silence and impunity that perpetuates SGBV and permits governments to abrogate their responsibility for this violence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The queue was getting shorter, and I too was getting closer to something. It was a big cloud, a hazy one. Everyone was calling this cloud with a name as they were coming closer to it. I wasnt able to hear it clearly from a distance, but as I reached pretty close, I heard the name God. Yes, God was what I heard. The small hazy clouds were calling this huge hazy cloud as God. What is this God? I kept thinking as I was moving closer to it. My turn came, and I was in front of it. The first thing I said to it was God! And to this it replied, Yes, son. I was so surprised, frightened, and nervous. I wasnt able to understand the reason for which I called it a god. May be it was some automated command fed into all of us. Then this god showed me a golden gate just behind it. It was this huge gate, with beautiful carved images on it as if it was telling a story about someone or something. God bent down to its knees and started telling me, or I should say, started giving me a series of instructions.

Download or read book Our Life Our Way written by William L. Rush and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-10-29 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our Life Our Way, A Memoir of Active Faith, Profound Love, and Courageous Disability Rights explores an extraordinary love story grown out of engagement with both disability rights advocacy and Christian faith communities. This important memoir contains thoughtful, often-entertaining, and sometimes heart-wrenching anecdotes of a couple's journey to create their profoundly intimate relationship and Christian marriage, in a world not yet ready for them. William Rush and Christine Robinson's timely meeting, when the United States was close to granting civil rights to all Americans with disabilities, sets the stages for their intensely human and difficult journey of breaking down many societal and systemic barriers to full participation in the larger society. How will the couple deal with the local KKK grand dragon who is threatening William, an outspoken person with a significant disability? How will they respond to posturing state politicians using persons with disabilities as bargaining chips with potentially dire consequences? How will they react to well-meaning but not always well-informed government officials pushing quick fixes? Against such opposition, can they create their own life, supported by their local disability rights and Christian faith communities? Girded by a local Christian congregation's willingness to engage with this nontraditional couple, their faith is tested and grows stronger through much adversity. Faith-filled acts of mercy and grace and active and meaningful participation provide restoration on their arduous journey. Deepening their relationship with God results in a desire for a Christian marriage. Through a series of vignettes, several deeply human themes are explored: developing enduring relationships, standing up for one's rights and advocating for one's needs, and what it means to growing deeply in love with a faithful God while tribulations abound. Through sheer grit, they model for each of us how to create our own lives, our own way.
