Youth Poet Alaha
The Gradual Death of Vulnerable Afghan Women
The rights of women are high in the world, it is said,
but this privilege is mere words.
Women do not possess their own rights,
be it in the past or present, it is apparent.
To restore women’s rights, they all talk,
but except to win status, they take no actions.
O Afghan woman, strive to win your own rights!
Seek knowledge and be aware of your rights.
If you do not win your rights, who will give them to you?
How long will you be vulnerable? Fight for your rights!
A gradual death has given you this day.
If you want to be rescued, then be a fighter and fear nothing.
(Alaha) is the defender of the deprived Afghan women and their rights.
We share the pain of the women of the world.
Best regards,
Sajia Alha Ahrar

Gender Bind / Unfair Share
In Times of India [ March 08,2011 ], Ms. Rema Nagarajan provides following insights :
Women own 1 per cent of the world’s wealth, have a 10 per cent share in global income
Women comprise half the world’s population but occupy just 14 per cent of leadership positions in the private and public sector
Of the 1.4 billion people living on less than $ 1 a day, 70 per cent are women and girls
Women do two-thirds of the world’s work, but earn only 10 percent of the income
Women produce half of the world’s food, but own just 1 per cent of its land
Of the almost 900 million adults worldwide who can’t read or write, two-thirds are women
Will mankind [ on “ Women’s Day “ 2011, should I say, womankind ? ] manage to bridge this gap by end of 21st Century ?
With regards
