For Women, The Times They Are a Changin'
By Tarie Khoraam
The living conditions for women in Afghanistan have changed since the fall of the
Taliban and in the ongoing presence of westerners (particularly Americans) since then.
Education is now available for females, a dream that was lost until the early 90s.
Additionally, Afghani women are being trained as beauticians, resulting in them being
able to establish their own businesses.
Progress, that stands as testament to the fact that women can achieve their goals
if they are allowed to develop a craft and to excel academically without hindrance,
like the sort which has plagued Afghanistan for centuries.
