Deeply moving. I wish I could do something to help those girls and women. But I must disagree with one thing she said; the girls and women of Afghanistan did not become "shameful creatures". The shameful creatures in this sad story are the barbarians who are ruling their country in ignorance and maliciousness.
What can those of us in the West do to help these girls get an education and start home-based small businesses? Are there any particularly effective NGOs getting them laptops, internet access, micro loans, business advice?
