Men get drafted for war everyday across the world. That leaves woman at home without a choice to not only take care of themselves along with the family, but will try to earn money without getting into trouble from the government. In Afghanistan, tons of woman are on the hunt for well paying jobs that can’t get them stuck in the end. Woman do whatever it takes to keep their own families alive,healthy,and in good hands. “Woman in Kabul risked walking in the streets, a few without being covered in the all-encompassing barques the Taliban had required them to wear.” Woman should not have to hide, sneak, and worry about walking in towns alone just to get groceries, clothes, or any daily necessity. It’s sick,cruel,and an obnoxious way for humans of any gender to live. Regardless the race,gender,or sexuality, people should have the right to live and do what is in the interest of their own selves.

There are people all over the world who hear what goes in other parts of the world, yet don’t try to help put a stop to it. In Afghanistan a girl named Kamila Daiquiri's father got fleeted into war with no say on agreement. That left her alone to taker care of her 5 other siblings. She struggled with the question as to what she can do to help support the family.

In Afghanistan people are telling women that they can't look the way they wish. They are putting down for being a specific gender. For a while lots of females would have to follow rules they did not believe in just to keep their families safe and secure at home. While men are away at war woman are being restricted to very little things. Due to the fact that tons of woman were in hiding while out on the streets, they were limited to what they could wear in public. You have the freedom to do,say,and wear what you want when you feel it is appropriate. “With the economy back on track against the purported wishes of terrorists who ‘hate our freedoms.’ People believe that the U.S give too much freedom to all. Citizens around the United States do not understand that these woman are not volunteering to let go of a childhood at a young age to stay home and be the “adults” of the house.
Together we can all put a major stop to this problem as a male, female, transgender,gay,straight,or bisexual human being.
