Since August of 2024, women in Afghanistan have been banned by the Taliban from speaking or being heard in public places. Some Afghan women have bravely released recordings of themselves singing in protest of this horrific loss of basic freedom. We discuss the ban, and we discuss Miley Cyrus's song "Wrecking Ball", a song which in many ways exemplifies the oppressive masculine forces at play in the American pop music industry.Find the Afghan woman's song we share in the episode here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFHTbPNPZ1o&ab_channel=VoiceofAmericaIn the language portion, we discuss wreck and similarly violent or damage based words and their origins.The Eurovision song this episode is Finland's 2013 entry, "Marry Me" by Krista Seigfrids.Find us on instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/gettingdownandwordy/And email us at gettingdownandwordy@gmail.comHuge thanks to Patsy Walker for the use of our theme song “Who's Wordy Now”!This week's promoted podcast is Caffeinated Conspiracies.

Cette année marque le 30e anniversaire du Prix Martin Ennals, une distinction prestigieuse décernée à Genève pour honorer des défenseurs des droits humains courageux. En 2024, le prix met en lumière deux figures emblématiques : Zholia Parsi d'Afghanistan et Manuchehr Kholiqnazarov du Tadjikistan. Zholia Parsi, militante pour les droits des femmes, a fondé le Spontaneous Movement of Afghan Women pour résister aux politiques répressives des Talibans et défendre les droits des femmes dans un contexte particulièrement hostile.

Il est actuellement emprisonné pour avoir dénoncé les injustices dans son pays. Ces deux lauréats incarnent un courage extraordinaire face à la répression, rappelant l'importance de protéger celles et ceux qui se battent pour la justice et les libertés fondamentales. Nous serons au Palais Eynard, lieu de la cérémonie, pour un entretien exclusif avec Manon Karatas, directrice de la fondation Martin Ennals, qui reviendra sur l'impact de ces 30 ans de lutte pour les droits humains et sur les défis actuels.

It has been just over three years since the collapse of the Western-supported government in Afghanistan. This came almost immediately after the United States pulled its troops out of the country after 20 years of war. The Taliban quickly took control of the country and began enacting policies and restrictions that ultimately take away basic rights for girls and women. This is all in the midst of an ongoing humanitarian crisis, with widespread hunger across the country. To speak more on this, host Jeff Douglas spoke with Lauryn Oates. She is the executive director of the organization Right to Learn, formerly known as Canadian Women for Women in Afghanistan. This organization has been providing education to Afghan women and girls since 1998.

The resurgence of the Taliban in August 2021 sent shockwaves throughout the world. Images from Afghanistan showed fear, panic and unrest looming. With the country back under Taliban rule, a group of Afghan women writers feared the worst. They kept in touch with the Untold Narratives, a development programme dedicated to writers from marginalised communities or conflict zones. It was a group of messages from these writers detailing their lives that the collective curated into a diary ‘My Dear Kabul'. Georgina Godwin speaks to the director, Lucy Hannah, and co-editor, Sunila Galappatti, about the process of recording the diary entries. We'll also hear from one writer about life in Kabul today.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Taliban has banned women from speaking in public. They're banned from singing, reading, reciting poetry, or even laughing outside their homes. What do the recent crackdowns mean for Afghan women -- and what can the international community do to stop it?

A female cat has more freedom in Afghanistan than a woman does, according to Hollywood actor Meryl Streep. She's spoken at the United Nations in a bid to get world leaders to focus on the plight of Afghan women and girls, since the takeover of the country by the Taliban in 2021.

Reese, Jasmin and Janet talk about the resignation of NYPD commissioner Edward Caban, GOP politicians and white nationalists stoking anti-Haitian sentiment in Springfield, OH, and young Afghan women pursuing higher education in Scotland.

In the shadow of the Taliban's resurgence, Afghanistan stands as a haunting testament to the fragility of progress and the enduring struggle for human rights. Two decades after the U.S.-led intervention following 9/11, the country has come full circle, with the Taliban once again imposing their harsh interpretation of Islamic law, particularly on women and girls. As the world grapples with how to respond to this humanitarian crisis, Ishann Tharoor from the Washington Post raises concern on how Afghan women find themselves trapped in an increasingly suffocating society, their voices silenced and their futures uncertain.

At the age of 19, Manizha Wafeq traveled to Oklahoma City with 13 women to participate in Peace Through Business, a program to support women from her native Afghanistan to become entrepreneurs. No sooner had they arrived in the United States when it became clear that three of the women did not speak enough English to follow the lectures. Manizha volunteered to serve as an interpreter. She taught them to type in Farsi on their laptops, creating an alternate keyboard to the English one they had. Sitting beside them, she assisted them in writing their business plans, all the while working on her own.  The rest, as they say, is herstory.Now, more than 20 years later, she has garnered a wealth of experience in development, with a dedicated focus on women's empowerment and gender equality. She has positively impacted the lives of thousands of women. In her role as the PEACE THROUGH BUSINESS country facilitator and trainer, she has directly trained and mentored approximately 800 women from over 17 provinces of Afghanistan in the last 17 years. She has co-authored a training manual on Business Start-ups and contributed to the creation of “Gender and the Legal Framework of Afghanistan.” Manizha Wafeq has learned valuable lessons through years of working to change the lives of women in her native Afghanistan, a country of 41 million people that has seen dramatic cultural shifts in recent years. "Long term commitment, patience and building your network with the right people" are key.  She admits to a revolutionary streak in her personality. She is someone who is not afraid to take on whatever challenges await her. But big change takes time. “You have to keep on learning,” she says.  If you don't learn, you will never succeed. Passion only goes so far.  You have to be well versed. You have to take the time to learn what you need to make the changes you want to make.” She is the winner of several awards such as the Enterprising Women Magazine's Advocacy and Leadership Award, Leadership Award from the National Business Association of the US, and Young Activist Award from the Afghan Women's Network and the Afghan Lower House of the Parliament. She also won the award for the best membership services and entrepreneurship development of SMEs at the 11th World Chambers Congress. She has MBA from the American University of Afghanistan and she is the mother of a 9 year old daughter.To learn more about Robert Maggio, the composer of "Where Love is Love," our theme music, please check out his website.To learn more about Suzanne, visit her website.

The ruling Taliban in Afghanistan issued a sweeping morality law in August. Among other things, it bans women's voices outside the home: no laughing, speaking loudly or singing. Afghan women outside the country are protesting the restriction by posting videos of themselves singing. We hear from some of them.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

In the three years since its return to power, the Taliban have excluded women and girls from almost every aspect of public life in Afghanistan, denying them access to education, employment, even speaking or showing their faces outside their homes. Published this August, My Dear Kabul: A Year in the Life of An Afghan Women's Writing Group (Coronet, August 2024) is the collective diary of 21 fiercely brilliant Afghan women writers, compiled using WhatsApp messages, offering courageous and intimate testimonies of the fall of Kabul in 2021 and its aftermath, of life under Taliban rule and far from home in exile. In August 2021 these women were in the process of publishing an anthology of short stories when their world was turned upside down. As they watched their cities fall, schools close, families and friends disperse and freedoms disappear, they stayed connected via WhatsApp messages, and established a space to keep their creativity alive, support each other and bear witness to the turmoil unfolding around them. My Dear Kabul is their story. My Dear Kabul is an Untold Narratives project, supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England and by The Bagri Foundation. Untold is a development programme for writers marginalised by community or conflict. It has been working with women writers in Afghanistan since 2020, where support for writers has been hampered by restrictions on freedom of expression and instability. Marie, among the 21 contributors to My Dear Kabul, was born in Afghanistan but her family lived in exile when she was a young child, returning home during the years of the Islamic republic. She studied for her first degree at Kabul University's Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences before completing a master's degree in India. In August 2021, Marie was in Afghanistan, working in the marketing department of a German aid agency while running her own women-led counselling service. In November 2021, she was evacuated from her family home to an apartment in Germany; she moved alone. Her story ‘The Café' was published in Moveable Type in 2023. Marie is also a contributor to My Pen Is the Wing of a Bird (MacLehose Press, 2021) and Rising After the Fall (Scholastic, 2023). Parwana Fayyaz, a translator and editor of My Dear Kabul, is a scholar and teacher of Persian literature at the University of Cambridge. She is also a poet and translator working with multiple languages. Her poetry collection, Forty Names (Carcanet Press, 2021), was a New Statesman book of the year and a White Review book of the year. Her translations promote the writings and culture of Afghan people around the world. Sunila Galappatti, an editor of My Dear Kabul, has worked with other people's stories as a dramaturg, theatre director, editor and writer: at the Royal Shakespeare Company, Live Theatre (Newcastle), Galle Literary Festival, Raking Leaves, Suriya Women's Development Centre, Commonwealth Writers, Himal Southasian and Untold Narratives. She spent five years working with a long-term prisoner of war in the Sri Lankan conflict, to retell his story in A Long Watch (Hurst, 2016). I should add I've had the privilege of working with Sunila at Himal - so I'm thrilled to be speaking with her today.

Earlier this week new laws were introduced into Afghanistan restricting the rights and freedoms of women. Under the Taliban's vice & virtue laws, women's voices and faces have been banned in public spaces in an effort to avoid temptation or tempting others.  The rules have sent a shockwave across the world, raising questions of how this can be ethical or legal? We find out what can be done, if anything, to claw back the rights of women in Afghanistan.

Yes, I mean, I think for the women of Afghanistan, we knew that the Taliban taking over would mean a dark future for women,” says Fereshta Abbasi from Human Rights Watch.In three years, women's rights have been steadily, and brutally, repressed.“No matter what we have done in the past three years, we haven't been able to reverse a single decree of the Taliban that is restricting women's rights,” continues Abbasi.“In 2024, Afghanistan remains the only country in the world where women do not have access to education beyond the sixth grade. Women do not have the right to most employment. Women do not have the right to freedom of movement. Women do not have the right to protest and assemble. So, I think we need to speak about it,” says Abbasi.What can we do to support Afghan women?“I think it's very important to stand with them, to listen to them, and to amplify their voices. It's very difficult to think of a better Afghanistan, a brighter future for women under Taliban rule. And I don't want to think about that. I want to believe and hold my strength together, that this madness cannot last.”Join host Imogen Foulkes on Inside Geneva.Get in touch!

In a world filled with turmoil, our hearts ache for those who suffer unspeakable hardships, and we seek to understand as well as to help, however we are able. Today I have the privilege of speaking with Charmaine Hedding about the incredible efforts to rescue persecuted Christians and vulnerable families amidst the chaos in Afghanistan, South Sudan, Israel and Gaza, and many other places. Our conversation is about humility, courage, gratitude, and practical support for those facing persecution and hardship. Charmaine Hedding, President of the Shai Fund, shares her harrowing journey negotiating funds and organizing evacuation planes to rescue over 2,100 members of the Afghan underground church. Despite terrible conditions and threats from the Taliban, their unwavering courage prevailed. She also shares about remarkable efforts in South Sudan, among other places. These extraordinary efforts exemplify the resilience and determination of those fighting for freedom and faith in the face of immense danger. But the battle is far from over. Charmaine emphasizes the ongoing need for practical and financial support for these persecuted individuals. She tells me about the pivotal role of financial assistance for security, travel, legal aid, and resettlement, underscoring the urgent need to pressure governments to allow sponsorship of asylum seekers and refugees. Our prayers and practical support can make a world of difference. The conversation also turned to the current situation in Israel, with Charmaine calling for prayers amidst violent attacks and a hostage situation. As we pray for peace and safety, let us remember that our prayers are interconnected with our willingness to offer tangible support. If I were to summarize some key takeaways from my time with Charmaine, here are some things I would choose to remember: 1. Embrace humility and wisdom in serving others, as seen in the hidden, effective work of humanitarian efforts. 2. When faced with challenges or persecution, remain committed to saying "yes" to God's will and direction in your life. 3. Stand with courage and compassion for the marginalized, especially women facing societal restrictions and persecution for their faith. 4. Choose to live with gratitude and hope, knowing that God can do a new thing in your life and in the world. 5. Acknowledge first-world privileges and use them as a reminder to advocate and support those facing greater hardships. 6. Empower and support persecuted individuals and communities with practical resources, including financial aid, sharing information about relevant organizations, and investing time and talent in helping those in need. 7. Find inspiration in the unwavering faith and resilience of persecuted Christians, letting their courage guide your own faith journey. 8. Work towards practical support for persecuted communities, recognizing the importance of both prayer and tangible assistance. MAKE SURE TO CONNECT WITH CHARMAINE AT https://www.theshaifund.org/ Let me tell you a little bit about the Shai Fund. First, the word Shai in Hebrew means Gift. And the Fund's mission is to support those who are affected by war, conflict, disaster, persecution, and exploitation. And they do that by partnering with local communities that provide urgent aid, practical support, and, yes, humanitarian assistance. Since 2014, the Shai Fund has directly assisted over 170,000 people with practical, immediate assistance, and they've created job opportunities and sustainable futures for thousands. My guest, Charmaine, is the founder and president. She oversees their global operations, strategy, and partnerships. She's worked for 2 decades in development management for the nonprofit sector, which is why she is so well suited to her current role for the Shai Fund. Her focus is the protection of persecuted minorities in the Middle East and in Africa. She also advocates for freedom of religion and belief, and the Shay Fund has been instrumental in helping so many, Christians who are persecuted for their faith. She's served on the ground responding to foreign disasters, humanitarian aid projects. She's designed and implemented emergency relief development programs, All of that for the protection of people at risk in complex emergencies, war, conflict. She used to work in the business sector. She's going to tell us how she moved out of it because of God's clear calling. This conversation will encourage, bless and challenge you.   Do you enjoy Gospel Spice?

Welcome back to REP. And more specifically – welcome to a guided REP Run. This is a story about what it means to stay in your body, to move through your life experiences, and for the women in this episode, what it really means to be Free. * Our guides for this story are three runners from Afghanistan. It's been two years since the women in this story have seen each other. Their separation was unexpected as the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, and they were of the lucky few who were able to evacuate. And they have miraculously reunited for the first time in the United States to run the New York City Marathon together. * This chapter of REP is brought to you by Right To Run, the social impact program of the sportswear brand On. Right To Run supports Free to Run, an organization that works to change gender norms in conflict areas by supporting girls and women in leadership and wellness through running. * Transcript + Links: www.ays.media/rep/freetorun * Follow on Instagram: @ays @noor @on @freetorunngo --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/rep-series/message
