A recent New York Times article helped solidify the importance of women's education in Afghanistan. A common event in Afghanistan is kidnapping young defenseless children. The abductions are "justified" as payment for a relative's misdeed. There are thousands of children (in particular girls) taken from their homes and held against their will. Although there is little that can be done to stop these cruel occurrences, I can not help but think that by promoting peaceful education, the lives of future generations will be greatly improved. The education of these children is ultimately my goal.
