Hi - have no idea what you're talking about, nor do I know how to send
emails I have received to others - so am not the culprit! Thanks, L Adams

>>Subject: women in Afghanistan
>>
>>
>>The government of Afghanistan is waging a war upon women. Since the
>>Taliban took power in 1996, women have had to wear burqua and have been
>>beaten and stoned in public for not having the proper attire, even if
>>this means simply not having the mesh covering in front of their
>>eyes. One woman was beaten to DEATH by an angry mob of fundamentalists
>>for accidentally exposing her arm while she was driving. Another was
>>stoned to death for trying to leave the country with a man that was not
>>a relative. Women are not allowed to work or even go out in public
>>without a male relative; professional women such as professors,
>>translators, doctors, lawyers, artists and writers have been forced from
>>
>>their jobs and stuffed into their homes, so that depression is becoming
>>so widespread that it has reached emergency levels. There no way in such
>>
>>an extreme Islamic society to know the suicide rate with certainty, but
>>relief workers are estimating that the suicide rate among women, who
>>cannot find proper medication and treatment for severe depression and
>>would rather take their lives than live in such conditions, has
>>increased significantly. Homes where a woman is present must have their
>>
>>windows painted so that she can never be seen by outsiders. They must
>>wear silent shoes so that they are never heard. Women live in fear of
>>their lives for the slightest misbehavior. Because they cannot work,
>>those without male relatives or husbands are either starving to death or
>>
>>begging on the street, even if they hold Ph.D.'s. There are almost no
>>medical facilities available for women,and relief workers, in protest,
>>have mostly left the country, taking medicine and psychologists and
>>other things necessary to treat the sky-rocketing level of depression
>>among women. At one of the rare hospitals for women, a reporter found
>>still, nearly lifeless bodies lying motionless on beds, wrapped in their
>>
>>burqua, unwilling to speak, eat, or do anything, but slowly wasting
>>way.Others have gone mad and were seen crouched in corners, perpetually
>>rocking or crying, most of them in fear. One doctor is considering, when
>>
>>what little medication that is left finally runs out, leaving these
>>women in front of the president's residence as a form of peaceful
>>protest. It is at the point where the term 'human rights violations'
>>has become an understatement. Husbands have the power of life and death
>>over their female relatives,especially their wives,but an angry mob has
>>often just as much right to stone or beat a woman, to death, for
>>exposing an inch of flesh or offending them in the slightest way. Women
>>enjoyed relative freedom, to work, dress generally as they wanted, and
>>drive and appear in public alone until 1996. The rapidity of this
>>transition is the main reason for the depression and suicide; women who
>>were once educators, doctors or simply used to basic human freedoms are
>>now severely restricted and treated as SUB-HUMAN in the name of
>>right-wing fundamentalist Islam. It is not their tradition or
>>'culture', but is alien to them, and it is extreme even for those
>>cultures where fundamentalism is the rule. Everyone has a right to a
>>tolerable human existence, even if they are women in a Muslim
>>country. If we can threaten military force in Kosovo in the name of
>>human rights for the sake of ethnic Albanians, citizens of the world can
>>
>>certainly express peaceful outrage at the oppression, murder and
>>injustice committed against women by the Taliban. STATEMENT: In signing
>>
>>this, we agree that the current treatment of women in Afghanistan is
>>completely UNACCEPTABLE and deserves support and action by the United
>>Nations and that the current situation overseas will not be tolerated.
>>Women's Rights is not a small issue anywhere and it is UNACCEPTABLE for
>>women in 1999 to be treated as sub-human and so much as property.
>>Equality and human decency is a RIGHT not a freedom, whether one lives
>>in Afghanistan or elsewhere.
