The article I was assigned spoke about the effect of Taliban Law on human rights. In 1997, an afgan woman by the name of Layla fell victim to abuse from a taliban militiaman. Traditionaly Afganistan women are strictly forced to be completly covered head to toe in the "prescribed chadari." This type of dress only allows for a small opening for the eyes, everything else is to be covered. Layla began feeling short of breath as if she were suffocating so she removed her veil in attempt to gain back her respiration. A Taliban man saw her and before Layla could say anything, the man whiped her, and continued to whip her. Layla crawled to the hospital where she passed out. When she woke, the doctors informed her that she had lost her baby, she was five months pregnate. Layla died waiting for surgery because the doctors couldnt get the Taliban's permission to operate.

 * Karla- Handout 4.4B-** My article was about Sakeena Yacoobi, a woman who feared the Taliban, but even so continued to educate the women and children that lived in Afghanistan even though that was extremly dangerous, and if caught could have her killed for such act. She believed that if women and children were able well educated (reading and writing) that they could interpret the Islamic religion then they can truly understand the real values of "peace, justice, and equality" (pg.45). In 1995, (the year that the Taliban came to power) she founded "The Afghan Institute of Learning". This Insititution would give both children and women be more educated, and very faithful.
