Come, be part of a story---one that will not repel you, but one that will compel you. A story that will repair, not dispair. A story that will help weave a tapestry of hope. Historically a servant class, the <strong>women</strong> of the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan face the unthinkable: Imprisoned for being raped Mutilated for leaving abusive spouses In some cases set afire and abused <strong>by</strong> family or community members Marginalized from the marketplace Psychologically scarred from centuries of war and being persecuted over centuries. Be part of the story---to help these <strong>women</strong> move towards a life of self sufficiency and hope Support the <strong>Focus</strong> on Women Magazine Afghan Women's Craft Project Purchase their goods. 10 <strong>Focus</strong> On Women Magazine May / June 2011 This is a Fair Trade Project
Numerous Afghan Women are abused. Most recently, according to a recent CNN report, a woman named Aisha who was considered to have “shamed” her family, ran away from an abusive spouse. Her husband, a Talib was instructed to exact the penalty of mutilation. Aisha suffered having her nose and ears cut. Left for dead, she survived the attack. <strong>Focus</strong> on Women Magazine IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF THE WOMEN CAN CHANGE AFGHANISTAN CRAFT PROJECT. She is now seeking plastic surgery in the United States. Other <strong>women</strong> are setting themselves afire or are targets of such acts. Others face abandonment from their families and are otherwise throwaways and outcasts. And there are many other, both told and untold, stories that make up this tragic tapestry. If we don’t act, then who? If not now then when? How we can help? Support the Women Can Change Afghanistan Project sponsored <strong>by</strong> <strong>Focus</strong> on Women Magazine. Support their economic initiatives <strong>by</strong> purchasing Women Can Change Afghanistan Project crafts so that they can rebuild their lives and work towards self sufficiency. <strong>For</strong> further information contact nicbri@focuson<strong>women</strong>magazine.net or call 410-294-2932.
