Life in Afghanistan

For my part, I think that Canadian soldier have to be in Afghanistan to help people, most particularly women and children, who are living there. They have to help them because I can’t believe that women can’t go to school and have a good education. They can do anything about it because when they try to assert their point of view, they are spread by acid in the face and many others things too disgusting like that. Statistics demonstrate that 97% of the afghan women are illiterate, because Taliban master 90% of the Afghan territory. (Fraternet.com) So, the Afghans women can’t resort to health services, what deteriorates the risk of diseases and problems bound to their pregnancy and also during the childbirth. What about children’s conditions? The young girls are obliged to marry 40-year-old men, but also to act as a 40-year-old woman, while they have only 10 years old. They are victims of rapes conjugal, of sexual attacks, physical violence or psychological, often connected with the forced and very often early marriages. They don’t have good conditions of life. For these reasons, I think that Canadian soldier should be in Afghanistan to help women and children who live their, to improve their conditions of life.
