Starlin Arush collected a stockpile of weapons, which made her a powerful force in the political landscape of Somalia. But she was devastated when The Economist, profiling her work, dubbed her a “warlady.” Anything but a player in the war, Starlin Arush was a missionary for peace who knew that disarmament and a viable alternative were the key to ending war altogether. On 24 October 2002, Starlin Arush was shot and killed in Nairobi at the age of 45. Equality Now dedicates its tenth anniversary to the memory of Starlin Arush and the power of her vision. This is a vision that women share—in Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Israel and Palestine—in all places great and small where violence is a way of life. Equality Now honors all those women and men who, like Starlin Arush, are bringing peace and human rights to the world around them—in their countries, in their communities and in their own homes. 1 AFGHANISTAN PEACE, SECURITY AND THE ROLE OF AFGHAN WOMEN In April 2002, Equality Now issued a Women’s Action Update on Afghanistan, calling on the UN Security Council to authorize the immediate expansion of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan and on President Bush to reverse the United States government’s opposition to the expansion, noting the special responsibility of the US government in the reconstruction of the country. The Women’s Action Update also called on the US President to ensure that the funding commitments made by the United States and other donor countries were honored and delivered without delay, and reminded him of the request of delegates from the Afghan Women’s Summit for Democracy that all international aid be used as leverage to ensure the rights of women in Afghanistan.

  • The Exercise of Afghan Women's Agency for Peace in Post-Conflict
    Obstacles within the International Community: The Exercise of Afghan Women’s Agency for Peace in Post-Conflict Reconstruction by Stephanie W. Hampton Ultimately…women must be involved in the peace process not only because they suffer disproportionately, or because they have previously been excluded, but because their contribution to the world is invaluable. —Felicity Hall and Mikele Aboitiz1 Under the Taliban’s draconian interpretation of Shari’a law, Afghan women were forced from public life and publicly executed for minor infractions. Yet, in just over two years since the Taliban fell, the women of Afghanistan have entered the political arena and successfully pressed for specific language in the Afghan constitution enshrining women’s rights as human rights. From being the most oppressed women in the world to enjoying the promise of more seats in Parliament than many Western nations, Afghan women have clearly made gigantic strides in their quest for peace and security. Their remarkable progress, however, is overshadowed by the current unstable security situation in Afghanistan and the lack of international political and military assistance which are needed to consolidate the successes that the Afghan women have realized. How has this seemingly rapid transformation of Afghan women occurred? The answer may partially lie in the concept of development as freedom put forth by Amartya Sen in his 1999 book, Development as Freedom.2 He proffers a new paradigm which includes not only GDP data, but human development factors, such as Infant Mortality Rates (IMR) and literacy rates, to determine a nation’s level of development in terms of sustainable development.

  • Victims of History and Culture: Women in the Novels of Khaled Hosseini and Siba Shakib
    VICTIMS OF HISTORY AND CULTURE: WOMEN IN THE NOVELS OF KHALED HOSSEINI AND SIBA SHAKIB ABSTRACT THESIS V : SUBMITTED FOR THE AWARD OF THE DEGREE OF IN t ENGLISH j^ BY JAMSHEED AHMAD T7880 UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF Dr. Aysha Munira Rasheed DEPftRTMKNT OF ENGblSH ALIGARH MUSLIM UNIVERSITY AUGARH -202002 (INDIA) 2012 T7880 Abstract The thesis entitled "Victimsof History and Culture: Women in the Novels of Khaled Hosseini and Siba Shakib" has been chapterised into four chapters. It attempts to discuss the victimization of women characters in the hands of history and culture. Women and History Though the novels concerned are not historical in the strict sense of the word, the title of the thesis demands a parallel study of literary (the novels) and non-literary (the history of the country) texts. Both the novelists have drawn in abundance from the historical happenings of Afghanistan. The unstable political history of Afghanistan which had been marked by power struggles, armed revolts and mass uprisings had a direct bearing on the social fabric of this multi-ethnic country which is well mirrored in the novels. History of Afghanistan stands a testimony to the fact that the issues related to women have always been one of the various reasons for unstable polity. A cursory examination of history reveals that at various junctures in the history, the issues related to women have been among the reasons behind the fall of various regimes. Afghanistan is a country with deep patriarchal roots and a tribal-based family structure. In Afghanistan, family is at the heart of the society.

Scott can be reached at: [email protected] Pre-Publication Review Copy 2 (c) 2012 Scott White This book is dedicated to Eve, Kira, Zachary and Benjamin. They are the lights of my life. Pre-Publication Review Copy 3 (c) 2012 Scott White Dear reader, This is NOT the book I really want to write. This book is called Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – Yet Another College Guide, I want to write Don’t Do Anything That Can Kill You – NOT Another College Guide. The world does not need another college guide; there are too many already. Please read this letter before the book because I want to tell you what this book is, why it is the way it is, what I hope to develop instead, and how you can help make that happen. The first half of this book contains essays that present my perspective on the college application process, and suggests attitudes you might adopt too. The second half contains a collection of reference materials that I hand out to students and their parents. I think all of it is useful although some of it is out-of-date. I am not sure I’d want to include this in the book I really want to write because it can be found elsewhere. It is in this edition because that way I can just give this book to my students rather than a loose collection of articles.

  • Monologi Waginy
    Eve Enserl Monologi waginy Jeżeli nauczymy się afirmować kobiecą seksualność, cieszyć się nią, przestaniemy się jej wstydzić - łatwiej będziemy się też bronić przed przemocą i wszelkimi rodzajami opresji. Waginie też należy się święto. Kinga Dunin, „Wysokie Obcasy” Eve Ensler jest poetką, scenarzystką filmową, a przede wszystkim autorką licznych sztuk teatralnych, m.in. The Deput, Floating Rhodn and the Glue Man, Extraordinary Measu- res, Ladies, Lemonade, Necessary Targets. Monologi wagini/ przyniosły jej w 1997 roku pre- stiżową nagrodę OBIE, a sukces, który odniosły na scenach całego świata (inscenizowane były z udziałem m.in. Glenn Close, Kate Blanchett, Kate Winsłet i Meryl Streep), stał się początkiem globalnego ruchu V-Day, skierowanego przeciwko przemocy wobec kobiet. przełożyła Anna Kołyszko Dla Ariel, która kołysze mi pochwę i rozsadza serce Przedmowa Glorii Steinem Pochodzę z pokolenia „rzeczy samej”. Bo tymi słowy - wypowiadanymi rzadko, ści- szonym głosem - kobiety z naszej rodziny określały wszystkie żeńskie narządy płciowe, we- wnętrzne czy zewnętrzne. Nie dlatego, że nie znały terminów „pochwa”, „wargi sromowe”, „srom” czy „łech- taczka”. Przeciwnie, były z wykształcenia nauczycielkami, toteż miały zapewne lepszy do- stęp do informacji niż większość rówieśniczek. Nie można im też zarzucić, że były niewyzwolone lub „pruderyjne”, jak same by to ujęły. Jedna moja babka zarabiała na życie pisaniem kazań - w których ani jedno słowo nie wierzyła - dla surowego Kościoła protestanckiego, a resztę dorabiała, grając na wyścigach. Druga była sufrażystką, pedagożką, a nawet działaczką polityczną, co w owym czasie napa- wało zgrozą wielu przedstawicieli jej żydowskiego środowiska. Matka była jedną z pierw- szych reporterek w gazecie jeszcze przed moim urodzeniem. Zawsze szczyciła się tym, że wychowuje obie córki w bardziej oświeconym duchu, niż wychowano ją.
