How Are Women Treated In America

In Afghanistan, Women’s rights were very denied and completely dismissed. Women were treated horribly. They were beaten, abused verbally, and even killed. Under the rule of the Taliban, women were better off staying in the safety of their own homes.

1. Throughout the years Britain controlled India, there had been little violence, but when India gained its independence, violence broke out. First of all, one of the main reasons that violence broke out was the fact that the Muslims and the Hindus were separated. Quarrels and land disputes broke out because of the separate states that were created once India gained its independence. Another reason of why violence broke out was the Muslims and the Hindus had no reason to cooperate anymore.

The Constitution that was created in Afghanistan during the 1920’s, stated equal rights for women and men. In fact, during the year of 1959, new policies created educational and career opportunities and voluntary removal of having to wear the burka. Women’s roles become similarly equivalent to male roles; they had the opportunity to acquire knowledge from universities, and were provided jobs in industrial, business, and entertainment settings. The atrocities that came about during the Mujaheddin and Taliban control were unheard of years prior, when women lived in peace and prosperity

In middle eastern society Many may claim that the women in the middle east are being oppressed but the same may be said about women living in the west. Until quite recently in time women here in the United States received an equal status to men. Whereas these traditions and

Khaled Hosseini presents the struggle Afghan women go through every day by discussing honour, marriage and the place of women in society in Afghanistan.

Over the years the United States has grown to love each other as the way people are, especially women. Women have proven to be even stronger than what people expected them to be. You can see the strength, the courage, and the confidence they have gained. It has been discussed many years that women shouldn’t be allowed in combat for not being “strong enough”. Men have shown that they can be “manly” enough to do women or girl things, so why can’t women do “manly” things? If women feel like they can handle being on the frontline then we should respect their decision and allow them to go.

In most societies, men feel the need to reinforce the idea of their superiority upon women, so thus they use religion to prove their dominance. A Talib told Mariam of how ‘God made us differently’(Hosseini 324). These “differences” that the Talib speaks of is one of main ways patriarchy is defended, since God made man and woman differently, the Afghan community assumes that they must be treated differently as well. Also, there must be one sex that is superior to the other then, many communities along with the Afghan community chose to place men above women due to sexist beliefs of the

In the movie, the producer discussed about the struggle women, which includes minorities women had to face in America such as cratering for the family, working, and at the same time treated like they were nobody in the society. The ladies with low income rate had to live with cheap cloths and bedroom with no windows. Likewise, there was no law or rules that prevent men from attracting the ladies who decided to protest against the action. It was a patriarchal society. Most women worked at the Triangle short way factory and the men made sure the ladies worked very hard and was pay low wages. Also, the producer analyzed that the women and children were locked in the factory and none of them were able to leave until their hours were completed.

Since the beginning of time, women have had to fight rigorously for basic human rights. In the western stratosphere, those human rights were achieved in the early 20th century, but in a lot of eastern countries the battle for the women is just beginning, or worse hasn't even started. Women in Afghanistan have been subject to heinous circumstances, even though their religion, Islam "demanded that men and women be equal before God,"(Qazi). Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner offers a very insightful view of the governing politics of Afghanistan pre-Taliban regime and during the Taliban regime, and the differing situation of women in both those eras. Based on the book and outside research, it is evident that the situation of women in

Emmeline says “the extensions of the franchise to the men of my country have been preceded by very great violence, by something like a revolution, by something like civil war” (Perry, 218). With this in mind, she was considering the extensions of the vote were needed to be preceded by very great violence. She formed the Women’s Social and Political Union. They were a group dedicated to obtaining equal votes for women. She comes up with the idea of the use of militant direct-action tactics. Increasing members of women’s clubs helped her to decide to use a different method such as militant direct-action tactics in order to obtain the vote. It was kind of the unprecedented tactics. First of all, she stats that “The women did not get it because they were constitutional and law-abiding” (218). Women were considering no violent human beings. She was also by nature a law-abiding person as one hating violence, hating disorder (219). However, she realized that militant direct-action tactics was the only way to obtain equal votes for women because men fought before all men got the vote. She was also proud of in the quest for their own suffrage by using militant direct-action

The American Dream - accomplishing greatness with only the clothes on one’s back (also known as the ideal success story) - has been greatly influenced by the role women have played in American History. Women were key in the education of future generations in America and were responsible for instilling true Republican values in them; this process would later be known as Republican Motherhood. Throughout American History, men found women worthy of only one main task: child rearing. This view of women changed only minutely throughout the centuries and demonstrated the extremity of it, when African-Americans (ex-slaves) were given equal rights before white women. Though women faced various political, social and economic obstacles, they still managed to shape the culture and society around them by fighting for their long denied hard powers. They sought only to gain the right of franchise, be measured as equals to men in society and thus no longer be discriminated against. Women played important roles in abolitionist movements, prohibition movements and as suffragists, popular icons, politicians and social activists. By overcoming many obstacles, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Abigail Adams, Anne Hutchinson and Mary Wollstonecraft left their permanent mark on history by creating the modern myth known as the American Dream. They represented the moral authority of the republic and by struggling for centuries for equal rights, they managed to intertwine Republican Motherhood with the

The reason I chose to study Islamic Feminism and Afghanistan, is that for many people, these words do not belong in the same sentence. Afghanistan has come to be recognized as a country that follows strict and fundamentalist Islam, hindering the lives of women and even damaging their lives. Since I entered high school, Afghanistan has been known to me and my generation as a country

Today in the post –Taliban era, women still struggle with their rights. Resolutions were produced and rights for women have advanced since September 11th but in order to move forward, much work needs to be done. Hundreds of years of repression for Afghan women will take a lot longer than a few years to actually revolutionize. There is violence towards women that are not practicing traditions customs and fear retaliations from the Taliban. Customs are difficult to change as well as government policies. (Bora Laskin Law). In Afghanistan, religious and cultural values, politics, and an uncertain acting government have played a major part in the struggle for women’s rights.

Before the rise of the Taliban in the early 1990s, women in Afghanistan were mostly treated as equals and with respect. Though women were still expected to be
