Taliban Introduces Even Stricter Laws Against Women

[naomi24]

Not only are Afghan women forced to cover themselves from head to toe in public, they are denied an education too - and now their voices must not be heard either.  They are complete nonentities.  Nothing more than chattels and baby-making machines.

Last night's BBC television news report was very distressing.  These women are living unimaginably horrendous lives and there's nothing they can do about it.  Just helpless.   What, if anything, can the international community do?

The women are treated like slaves and sex slaves at that. I doubt the international community  will anything about it either. Maybe pressure should be exerted by other moslem nations, though I can't recall hearing  any condemnation from them

[naomi24]

Rosetta, other Muslim nations are unlikely to exert pressure.  Muslim women are, in general, second class citizens.

The shape of things to come over here in the near future.

Their priorities are odd. Only yesterday it was all over the news that 10s of thousands of children are starving and all they care about is oppressing women even further.

[Maydup]

The report highlighted a terrifying situation but I fear any intervention or even suggestion of change, would result in global bloodshed.

Are the people who enforce these laws even human???

[Peter Pedant]

The afghans did absolutely nothing to prevent a Taliban take over ( 7 d - even Biden was taken unawares)

and now they  complain about the liberators..... so what?

( Like the Brexiters - oo we didnt think it wd be like that ( BoJo  and Farage)

[Peter Pedant]

The outraged little fluffy then said there were secet schools in various places

as though it were a first....

Marie curie started off with the Flying University in Poland 1890 - probably tolerated by the Russian Polish authorities

What can the international community do?They can stay well away from this sheet-hole of a country for a start.Enough British,American and Russian blood has been spilled trying to civilise this failed state.No more.

[Old_Geezer]

This was anticipated, we know what they're like.

 

Unless you are suggesting a military invasion  I don't think there is a lot that can be done. Try writing to Biden maybe ?

[Old_Geezer]

"Like the Brexiters - oo we didnt think it wd be like that ( BoJo  and Farage"

 

And everyone else too. We all thought the EU authorities might be adult, responsible, readonable individuals. But we learnt that they are like spoilt children when it was made obvious by them, and we won't overestimate them like that in future.

 

Of course it is now interesting to see Ursula von der Leyen opposing her own country in her EU role. My advice is to get a supply of popcorn in.

...reasonable...

outraged little fluffy at 0800 on R4  this am was helpless with rage at the lack of schools...

hahahahahahhaaha dave bro - you're so funny ! I swear I have never read that before !

[Peter Pedant]

Laboured explanation

1. 150 yrs ago, Poland was part of Russia

2. and there were no schools. there were but Russian language

3 and there were no universities

4. and they started lectures in secret

5 and it was called the Flying University

6.and Marie ( unpronounceable) Curie was one

7. and she got her Nobel before her PhD 

8 and so Afghan is not first

the end

open air prison for women

[ToraToraTora]

who woke up captain codswallop?

[ToraToraTora]

17:19 I'd say that the women there would think any western prison would be shangri-la compared that sheet hole. Gawd they can't even talk now!
