Watch this short documentary film about street harassment in Afghanistan by Sahar Fetrat!
“When I first joined the Afghan Voice’s media training, I had the vision of making a documentary about street harassment. This documentary for me is more than just a 10-minute film, there is a lot in it. There is a big pain in it that all women, especially Afghan women, can feel. This documentary shows only a little of what we see, feel and experience every day.” -Sahar Fetrat
After Afghanistan fell to the Taliban tens of thousands of Afghans made their way to the United States. They were allowed to stay under a program called “humanitarian parole.” But that status expires in a couple of months, and although they can renew one time, many are calling for Congress to pass the Afghan Adjustment Act, which would allow them to seek more permanent status.
For thousands of Afghans, the American withdrawal from Kabul was just the beginning of a long, dangerous search for safety.
“Recognition of Taliban — violation of women’s rights,” the women chanted during the march, which lasted no longer than 10 minutes in the capital.
Very shocking, shame on these men. These men need to learn about Islam and how to behave. Harassment of women is against Islam.
