Today is 17 December, as I promised every Monday I will publish a blog about 60 Minutes show and give my comments as an Afghan point of view. Last night reports were about: Tragedy in Newtown and Costa Concordia: Salvaging a shipwreck
Tragedy in Newtown:
Last week on Friday 14, 2012, 26 people that includes 20 children and 6 adults of Sandy Hook Elementary School of Newtown Connecticut where killed by in a massacre tragedy.
I know it is hard to imagine when you wake up in the morning with many wishes to go to school with friends and enjoy being with them and learning new things, but it will never happen to you again anymore.
Last night , I watched the memorial of those who were killed in this shooting live on CBS where Barak Obama, US president gave a speech and mentioned that, since his presidency it is the fourth time that they face with such a tragedy. Although it is not US but any part of the world suffer from such an unbelievable tragedies for schools kids, though they are a bit different than each others where Afghanistan is in the same path as them.
However in Afghanistan mostly school girls will be affected by attacks at school or on the way to go to school. They face with many risks while they are dreaming to have a good education to study but we have numerous examples of Acid attacks ad poisoning their water.
For Afghan girls it becomes a part or their daily life when they leave home to school either there will be another anti-education attack to their schools or their individuals, they carry all the concerns and worries with themselves but in a hope that they are the generation who can build the future of their country and no one else.
since 2001 when the Taliban regime collapsed, and women had a very dark educational period that time when they could study just at home and hidden until now still women are under pressure while they are studying, specially those who are in southern and eastern part of Afghanistan. This anti-educational attacks becomes a culture to avoid girls to continue their educations. As an example on April 17, 150 girls were poisoned in Takhar province in Afghanistan.
But why always girls should be the target?! In my idea they are the innocent part of the society, in a male dominated society like Afghanistan to ignore women and separate them from social activities is not a big deal. Those who poison girls know that they have the responsibility of being a mother to train and educate future generation of Afghanistan, thus well educated mothers will grow wise children who hate war, corruption,injustice, bomb blasting, massacre, they wont let them to be in power again and these anti-education attacks would be a good reason for them.
But whenever one door is closed, the next door is going to be open and that is building Internet classroom in Afghanistan with educational software "Examer" and a social media curriculum that connect Afghan school girls to the world which they can raise their voices outside of Afghanistan.
For me, it is no matter where you are and who you are , the most important thing is to get the best thing what you want out of what you have in your hands and thats why we make Afghan girls' dream into reality to sit in Internet classroom in Afghanistan with a unforgettable smile for the future.
روز جمعه ۱۴ دسامبر ۲۰۱۲، یکی از تلخ ترین حوادث در آمریکا در مدرسه ابتدایی نیوتون در کانکتیکات به وقوع پیوست. ۲۶ نفر که شامل ۲۰ محصل و ۶ مسئول مدرسه بودند در حادثه تیر اندازی غیر قابل باوری به قتل رسیدند و جامعه آمریکا را در شوکی تاثر برانگیز قرار دادند. در واقع این گونه حوادث در آمریکا به ندرت دیده میشود. شب گذشته باراک اوباما رئیس جمهور ایالات متحده آمریکا در یادبودی از این سانحه ناگوار اشتراک کرده و اظهار کرد که از زمان ریاست جمهوری وی این چهارمین رویداد ناگواری است که به وقوع پیوسته است. این گونه حوادث به نوع خود به هر وجهی که انجام شود خوشایند نیست چه برای آن کشور و حتی سایر ممالک.
افغانستان نیز از این قاعده مستثنی نمیباشد هر چند شکل تطبیق آن کمی متفاوت تر میباشد. در زمان حکومتداری طالبان زنان در سیاهترین دوران تحصیلی خود به سر میبردند. آنها باید مخفیانه در خانه به درس خود ادامه میدادند و داشتن امید به اینکه روزی فرا خواهد رسید که آنها نیز قدم به مدرسه بگذارند. بعد از فروپاشی دولت طالبان از سال ۲۰۰۱ به این طرف علاقه مندی و سهم گیری زنان در تحصیل با رشدی فزاینده رو برو بوده است اما این فرایند نیز مشکلات خود را داشت. اقدام گروه های وابسته به طالبان و یا افراط گرایان باعث ایجاد موانعی برای تحصیل زنان در افغانستان شد که از آن جمله میتوان پاشیدن اسید، انتشار مواد کیمیایی مسموم کننده در هوا و آب نوشیدنی دختران محصل را نام برد. هدف از انجام این کارها بازداری دختران افغان از تحصیل میباشد، چرا که آنها میدانند که آنها مادران آینده نسل فردا هستند. مادر تحصیل کرده و آگاه فرزندانی هوشیار و با درایت پرورش خواهد داد که از کلماتی مانند جنگ، تبعیض، فساد اداری، انتحار و مانند آن متنفرند و دیگر اجازه نخواهند داد که کسی با آینده آنها بازی کند.
به نظر من برای هر در بسته ای، خداوند در دیگری را خواهد گشود و این ما هستیم که چگونه میتوانیم از آن استفاده کنیم. برای من مهم نیست که تو کجا هستی و یا که هستی؟ مهم این است که تو با اندکترین داشته های خود به بهترین خواسته ات برسی
منتظر نظریات شما با فرشته در برنامه ۶۰ دقیقه هستم
