What country doesn't let girls go to school?

Nearly a year after the Taliban seized control, Afghanistan has notoriously become the world's only country where girls are forbidden from attending secondary schools, solely because of their gender.

Nearly a year after the Taliban seized control, Afghanistan has notoriously become the world’s only country where girls are forbidden from attending secondary schools, solely because of their gender. It is true that in a few areas Taliban leaders yielded to community pressure and allowed girls’ secondary schools to open, but these instances are rare. To draw attention to the issue, Human Rights Watch interviewed prominent Afghan women about what education means to them. Sahar Fetrat is an award-winning documentary filmmaker and an assistant researcher with Human Rights Watch who co-produced the videos. Heather Barr, associate director of our women’s rights division, interviewed Fetrat about what will be lost as this generation of girls is shut out of school.

Why did you want to do this project?

I joined Human Rights Watch in November to assist with research and advocacy for women’s rights in Afghanistan. Since the fall of Afghanistan to the Taliban, I go to bed feeling nostalgic, and I wake up in rage. I am nostalgic for the difficult but hopeful days we had in Afghanistan when we genuinely believed in change. But today, we are fighting for the bare minimum. And I feel enraged when I wake up every day thinking, how is it we are fighting for something as basic as girls’ right to education in 2022?

I did this project because I am extremely concerned for the present and future of girls in Afghanistan. On March 23, when the Taliban refused to allow girls to go to secondary school, like everyone else I felt devastated. As an Afghan woman, it is clear to me that education has changed my life and fate. I would have been a different person, trapped in a different destiny, had I not had the chance to get an education. This is the case for many Afghan women that I know and admire. Through education we not only changed our fates but the fates of people around us. That is something I would never take lightly. Because of war and the Taliban’s takeover in the 1990s, many people – especially women – are illiterate. When the Taliban took over then, a generation of girls lost at least five years of school and an opportunity to learn, thrive, and become. Nobody acknowledged the harm, no one understood the pain, no one was held accountable. I am worried the same thing will happen again if we don’t join forces and take action.

The latest Dead Spa- oops, sorry. The Callisto Protocol isn’t actually a Dead Space game, but it shares so much DNA that it’s often barely distinguishable. With its third-person over-the-shoulder view, its gruff protagonist with an in-unverse health display conveniently on the back of his neck, and undead monsters you can dissect with bullets – not to mention being co-created by Glen Schofield – the similarities are almost endless. Yet while this doesn’t exactly win awards for originality, stepping into the shoes of Jacob Lee as he breaks out of the intimidating Black Iron Prison – an isolated facility on Jupiter’s most inhospitable moon – while figuring out exactly why the dead are rising (and mutating) makes for one of the best horror experiences in years. With satisfyingly weighty melee combat, a fun selection of weapons and telekinetic powers to unlock, and some serious jump scares, this shows imitation really is the sincerest form of flattery.
