Description
We Are Still Here Afghan Women on Courage, Freedom, and the Fight to Be Heard by Nahid Shahalimi is a powerful collection of first-hand accounts from courageous Afghan women who refuse to be silenced in the face of radical Islamists. After decades of progress, the prospects of women and girls in Afghanistan have regressed, but these women remain determined to fight for their rights. Their stories offer a glimpse into the lives of thirteen influential Afghan women, including politicians, journalists, scientists, filmmakers, artists, coders, musicians, and more. They reflect on their country's past, share their own experiences empowering girls and women, and report on the fear and pain caused by the loss of freedom and self-determination. This book issues an appeal to remember Afghan girls and women, to show solidarity with them, and to fight for their place in the free world. It is a call to action that reminds us all that these women have a right to freedom and dignity, just like us.
