August 2009 'The Sex Law' may have been watered down but forced marriage, domestic violence and rape still define life for most Afghan women. Now a fledgling women's rights movement is determined to change that legacy. It's more than 8 years since the Taliban ruled Herat but for many women here, life has barely changed. In this refuge called 'Voice of Women', Suraya tries to combat the abuse of women under President Karzai. 'Forced and child marriage has not reduced since 2001. It's still a common practice' says Suraya. For those not lucky enough to make it to her shelter, prison is the alternative. Young girls are charged with 'running away from home' and 'adultery'. 'Here rape is considered adultery' reveals Suraya. 12 year old Nadia says she 'doesn't know how to live' anymore after being raped and charged with adultery. Earlier this year President Karzai passed a law stopping women from going out without men, restricted their power of divorce and enforced sex at least every four days. He reviewed the law after local and international pressure. But for those brave enough to fight for women's rights, the stakes are getting higher - the Taliban are targeting and assassinating activists. 'I would like to suffer today for women's rights' says Suraya. Will the women's rights movement be able to turn the democratic process to their advantage?
Women should never allow ourselves to be compared to animals so much as to not allow ourselves the opportunity to futher our education, and succeed in many endevors. We are so much more than what we are told we are.

July 5, 1991 Florynce Kennedy (11 February 1916 - 22 December 2000), was a US lawyer, activist, civil rights advocate, and feminist. Florynce Rae Kennedy was born in Kansas City to an African American family. Her father was a Pullman porter, and later had a taxi business. She had a happy childhood, full of support from her parents, though she was exposed to racism in her mostly white neighborhood, and experienced poverty in the depression. She graduated top of her high school class. After high school, she worked many jobs including owning a hat shop and operating elevators. After the death of her mother, Flo (as she was called) left Kansas for New York, moving to an apartment in Harlem with her sister Grace. Of the move to New York she commented 'I really didnt come here to go to school, but the schools were here, so I went. In 1942 she began classes at Columbia University. She majored in pre-law. However, when she applied to law school in 1948, she was refused admission. In her autobiography Flo says 'The Associate Dean Willis Reese, told me I had been rejected not because I was a Black but because I was a woman. So I wrote him a letter saying that whatever the reason was, it felt the same to me, and some of my more cynical friends thought I had been discriminated against because I was Black.' Flo met with the Dean and threatened to sue the school. They admitted her. She graduated from law school in 1951. By 1954 she had opened her own office, doing matrimonial work, and ...

Check out this article for an alternative explanation of the origins of women's oppression: www.marxists.de Defenders of patriarchy theory are welcome to post video replies. I urge those that do so to try to tackle the following questions using the theory: - how/why did women's oppression arise? - how can women's oppression be ended? by whom? by what means? And what will replace it?

Iranian Women's Struggle for Freedom Music : Eric Clapton & JJ Cale- Don't Cry Sister, from the album The Road To Escondido Editor : Bahramerad On International Womens Rights Day, Iranian Activists to Open Campaign for Equality (Beirut) - Iran should stop infringing on women's rights and take immediate steps to meet Iranian women's demands for full equality, Human Rights Watch said today. Iranian women's rights activists have issued a call for freedom and gender equality in Iran in connection with International Women's Rights Day on March 8. Their campaign, Call for Solidarity: Freedom and Gender Equality in Iran, seeks an end to state-led violence and other forms of repression directed against both men and women. On January 10, 2010, for example, more than 30 women were beaten at a weekly vigil in Tehran. The women were seeking news of their sons and daughters who had been detained during the protests following the June 2009 presidential elections. This campaign calls on the authorities to immediately release all political detainees, including many women's rights activists. "This initiative of Iranian women's rights activists is crucial to the overall struggle for democracy in Iran," said Nadya Khalife, women's rights researcher for the Middle East and North Africa at Human Rights Watch. "It is also a tribute to the strength of women, who continue to demand their rights and support fellow citizens in the toughest of times." For more than 30 years, the women's rights ...

Continued: So call statistics of black on white rape cases & this propaganda of whites not raping black women um...someone is not trying to dig deeper into this issue rather they wanna scratch the surface. Hypothetically, lets say these so call black on white sexual assault cases decrease at an alarming rate. That still leave thousands of white men raping their white women, or how about the increasing numbers of white men who are pedophiles? DENIAL is a Disease WhiteIGNITERS.

Where is the father? You mean to tell me white men are deadbeat fathers too & its not only black men? What?? www.youtube.com If your gun ho about having your white brothers & sisters back then why haven't you raise awareness on stories like this? what about victims of white on white crimes. You ignore stories like this but you care more about black on white crimes? Wow www.youtube.com If you really care about your race then why not raise awareness on white women becoming victims of other white men as if blacks are the only ones that are beast, White men can be just as beastly & even more brutal to their white women www.youtube.com Seems to me that black people are not the only ones that need to get it together.

A 6:26 minutes demo clip (from the original full length video (44 minutes) made to recreate the MOOD of the year. During this tumultuous decade, every year was a distinctive era of its own. The fads, fashions, music, political landscape, cultural revolts and the backlash passed in a whirlwind. The unprecented freedom of youth, a financial upswing, and the technology, media and marketing continued on a straight uphill curve; along with a social consciousness for equality. Of course, there was a majority who resisted change; many of whom lived through two World Wars and the Great Depression. I would best describe this year as one of fear, hope, and alienation searching for other like-minded peers. Ideas? Were the air waves of Pop/Rock Music THE antenna to connect a youth movement? Some folks think so. An educational, historical, social commentary and imaginative time-travel through a child's eyes. Included are brief audio clips by the Troggs, Kinks, Beatles, Rolling Stones, Sandy Posey, Simon Garfunkel and others. For educational, nonprofit purposes, non-commercial use only.
