The Harsh Treatment of Women in Afghanistan

Strict treatment of Afghan women Since the tragedy of September 11, 2001, Americans are starting to pay real attention to the political situation in Afghanistan. For many Americans, the bad handling of women in Afghanistan is a problem, which seems to be a serious problem requiring external attention. Militant Muslim leaders in this country insist on limiting the freedom of Afghan women. Women in countries dominated by the Taliban have suffered unusually terrible torture and are obliged to comply with evil regulations for strict law enforcement.

In 2007, Mr. Coleman, US Foreign Relations Policy Council senior researcher, Coleman said strict treatment of women in Afghanistan was due to conservative and narrow thinking. The worrisome range of violence against women is reflected in their cultural heritage system, where women have no position and depend on mankind. As a result, women's vulnerability has led to continued discrimination against today's Afghan women. (Isobel Coleman, 2007) (see Appendix 8)

The study of women in Afghanistan has taught me many different aspects of making these women their own. They survived a very harsh age where women's education was illegal and it was a punitive act to go out in public without male accompaniment. Not only did the women in Afghanistan survived these horrifying times, they seemed to have never given up family education at home and were looking for ways to improve their lives

It is important to learn from the past, but all wars are different, Afghanistan is not Vietnam. From a humanitarian point of view, the Taliban is worse, especially for women than North Vietnam. The Taliban religious fundamentalism has not spread as much in Afghanistan as Vietnam Communism in the 1960s and 1970s. However, to use force abroad, a compelling national interest is necessary. Vietnam did not threaten America's safety and it may not be easy to see at that time, but the withdrawal of the army did not endanger the interests of the United States. The theory that Communism swept across Southeast Asia turned out to be wrong. Although the Communist Party is still in power, Vietnam and China have evolved into state capitalism rather than revolutionary exports of communism. Vietnam is currently one of the world's most political countries, and more than 75% of countries are highly regarded by the United States.
