In Afghanistan the threat to the girl, and attack Empty

Fifty-nine Afghan schoolgirls and 14 teachers were hospitalized this morning after an apparent gas poisoning, CNN reported. The attack occurred at a girls' high school in Kabul.
Ultra-conservative elements in Afghan society oppose female education and have a history of setting fire to girls' schools, click here for cheap dvds threatening teachers and attacking students. Some even earn money for doing so. Although these extremists aim to terrify girls back into isolation and ignorance, many young women refuse be intimidated.
In 2001, only 1 million Afghans were enrolled in school, all of them boys, The New York Times reported. Today, approximately 7 million Afghan children attend school, of which 2.6 million are girls. However, schools for girls still remain closed in Taliban strongholds, particularly in southern and eastern Afghanistan.
Two years ago, Shamsia Husseini was walking to school when a man on a motorbike drove up and asked if she was going to school. He then pulled the scarf away from Shamsia's head and threw acid in her face. Five other girls were also badly burned in the attack. Shamsia is now back at school, click here for cheap dvds even though she fears the man on the bike will return to hurt her again.
"I still have nightmares," she told CBS Evening News. "I will fight these people by continuing to go to school. Last time they threw acid to stop me, but even if they hit me with bullets, I will not stop going to school."
Ayenda: The Afghan Children Initiative funds projects relating to education for Afghan children. The group grants scholarships to female students, builds schools and provides food and supplies to schoolchildren in Afghanistan.
