Innocent women who live in terror under the Taliban overnment. The human rights organization Amnesty International has diligently issued pleas to the international community to take action against the oppression of Afghan women. In Afghanistan, women are confined to their homes except for government-approved excursions or when accompanied by a mahram — a prescribed male member of their immediate family. The consequences of disobedience are dire. In Price of Honor, a book that explores the lives of women under Muslim extremism, author Jan Goodwin relates an incident of a woman who is shot by a Taliban guard when she leaves her home to take her acutely ill child to a doctor. The woman survived the shooting, but when her family complained, the authorities declared that she had no business being in the street. Even if the complaint had been taken seriously, she would have had little hope for justice. A woman cannot petition the court except by going through a mahram and her testimony is valued at half that of a man's. foxnews.com P2bAAAT
