Islamic women
There is an immense problem occurring to women of the Islamic world. In many parts of the world, especially the United States and Britain, "girl power", as many girl bands refer to is growing rapidly. More and more, women are having more rights and privileges. But in many Islamic countries, including Afghanistan, Jordan, Togo, and Pakistan this "girl power" is hiding behind the burqa, a heavy, dark piece of clothing that surrounds the body, with only a small mesh window to see through. It is a great struggle for a female to survive in the Islamic world. The lives of hundreds of thousands of Afghan women and children have been traumatized in the human rights disaster that has devastated Afghanistan in the past three years. Thousands have been killed in artillery attacks. The Taliban, a right-wing militia group, seized control of the Central Asian nation's in 1996 and began a discriminating war against women. Many teenage girls are banned from attending school, and are not allowed out without a male relative; if she does go out, she has to be fully clothed with a burqa, which covers her head to toe, with a mesh window to see.

After writing this report and reading articles about these Islamic women living in fear, I have realized how devastating it is to live through this struggle on a daily basis. After so many years of women fighting for their rights across the world, there are still countries that have women that are being targeted for assassination, abduction and rape. These abuses are being committed without suffering by government forces and armed political groups who are prepared to terrorize the national population in order to secure and strengthen their power bases. http://www.amnestyusa.org/
