I was reading this story (If I teach them, no one can stop them) of Roya Mahboob through the blog of Francesco.  Click on those highlighted ones to direct you to the articles.

It's really hard to comprehend that there you are free in one place and restricted in others.  The same freedom you enjoy in one place is a luxury or worse punishable in others.  In our modern time and age, there are still those who look down upon women and don't consider them as equals.  The deeply rooted culture and tradition is hard to cut.  Because of that they became greedy and don't respect others' rights.

I appreciate and commend what Roya Mahboob, Francesco, and other people and foundation are doing in Afghanistan.   They are bringing digital literacy to women in Afghanistan where everything is controlled, your possession, your money, even your family and life.

With the help of bitlanders, they can earn through bitcoin and digital currency without the fear of their money being stolen from them.  They can enjoy the anonymity the digital world brings so they can earn for their own and can take care of themselves.

Digital literacy will surely help in educating people about the world.  Through the internet and social media we can easily be connected to people around the world and know more about them and learn from them.  That is what Roya and Francesco are doing - educating people through the use of technology.

Let us help in the education of others with the use of technology and the digital world.
