Afghan women are asking Canadians to join them in protecting gains in girls\u0027 education and resisting legitimacy for the Taliban.
“My friends are back home, they can’t go to school. I talk to them and they’re always feeling depressed,” said Yasamin Dellawari, one of the young women who attended the rally in shirts that read “Let Her Learn” and sang an original song for the crowd.
“Afghan women — despite all the problems — have been there the streets, raising their voices. Unfortunately, the international support has not been so forthcoming.” “It makes me want to stand stronger and fight because they cannot do it from inside, although women have shown so much strength and bravery by resisting the Taliban.”
Canada can fund online-learning projects and follow through on its delayed pledge to resettle 40,000 Afghans. Ottawa could also step up in its promise to allow Canadian development groups to help people in Afghanistan, she said.
