My View on Afghanistan Schoolgirls Scare

All over the world, women are still not as free as men. Patriarchy is still at large.Women are not yet accepted by the people and society as equal to men. Women are still viewed as weaker version of men.

Recently, in Afghanistan 125 school girls,aging from 15-18 are poisoned. Allegedly, perpetrators are the protesters who do not want women to be educated. This is to scare women to go to school. Afghanistan is not the only country wherein women are not permitted to go to school and be educated.

I wonder, why is it an insult when women will be educated? For me, it is an insult when women are not allowed to learn. Women are not slaves wherein they only do household chores only while men are surrounded by knowledge everyday.

I know that wisdom is better than knowledge but knowledge is something that everybody must possess. It is something that MUST be shared. The more knowledgeable women are, the less the number of the dependency ratio and the independent ratio. It means the more productive our community will become. 

In conclusion, I am a 101% sure that the world will be a better place to live if men and women are all educated. For you, what will be your say on this matter? Just comment below. :)

  2. All human beings deserve the right to education. Without education, wisdom is much harder to acquire. Excellent post.
