Afghan Girls

Published on 19/01/2024

On August 15, 2023 the Taliban took over Afghanistan for the second time. The first time was in the 1990s. It had been nearly two decades since their first take over until August 2023.

The Taliban prevented women and girls from education and work places since their takeover. It has been more than 800 days that girls cannot go to schools. They are restricted to primary schools. Women are prohibited from working and attending universities.

The current situation of Afghan women and girls resembles their previous condition in the 1990s when the Taliban held power for the first time. The same restrictions and preventions. Over two decades of developments and improvements in human rights, women’s rights and children’s rights are falling out. These restrictions have caused girls and women many mental and health issues.

Aside from the restrictions on women, the majority of Afghanistan citizens are struggling financially and facing poverty. The current implementation causes many families that do not have male workers or food bringers, to face extremely hard situations.

In case this situation continues, the future of Afghanistan’s society faces a shortage of female doctors and workers in the near future.

We hope and call the international community to support Afghan women’s rights of education, employment and other basic human rights which are being denied from them and help them have a brighter future.

World GDP and the Future

Photo by David McBee Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures the monetary value of all products and goods produced within a country’s border in a specific period of time. It calculates the total output of a nation. There are different types of GDP, such as Nominal GDP, Real GDP, and GDP per capita. Nominal GDP focuses on the raw GDP without considering the inflation, only current prices. Therefore, it may not be a hundred percent accurate and may include overstated or understated economic growth. Real GDP calculates the actual economic growth regardless of price changes. The inflation is adjusted by using constant prices from a base year. It is an effective method of learning about economic growth without the impact of price changes. GDP per capita is the GDP divided by the total population of a country. It measures the standard of living and average economic output per person in that nation. Our today’s focus is, however, not on any of the above types of GDP. Here we w...
