Calls for \"liberating\" Afghan women were widespread. Women's roles in Afghanistan have long been politically divisive, marked by struggles between modernization and tradition. Women, politics, and the state have always been intertwined in Afghanistan, and conflicts have been fueled by attempts to challenge or change women's status.     It may appear that we have come full circle twenty years later, in late 2021, when Afghanistan fell to the Taliban once more. Women's rights in Afghanistan have been stripped away, and any gains--however tenuous--now appear lost. Today, the country navigates both a humanitarian and a human rights crisis. This book measures the rhetoric of liberation and the physical and ideological occupations of Afghanistan over the twenty-year period from 2001 through 2021 through the voices, perspectives, and experiences of those who are implicated in this reality--Afghan women.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50136426086673,"sku":"CIN1476689423G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52144801087761,"sku":"NLS9781476689425","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1476689423.jpg?v=1750795216"},{"product_id":"gender-and-international-aid-in-afghanistan-book-lina-abirafeh-9780786445196","title":"Gender and International Aid in Afghanistan","description":"Afghanistan has become home to one of the largest gender-focused aid interventions in the aftermath of 9\/11, with foreign aid agencies using Afghani women as a barometer of social change and political progress. Through the lens of gendered aid intervention, this book seeks to understand how the promise of freedom has largely fallen short. Topics include: the tenuous relationship between social indicators and aid dynamics; the advancing of the gender agenda through Afghanistan's 2005 parliamentary elections; and, the journey from policy formulation to interpretation to implementation through the voices of policy-makers, policy implementers, NGO leaders, and Afghanistan specialists. The final chapter highlights the voices of Afghan women and men.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366217126161,"sku":"CIN078644519XA","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":52104820850961,"sku":"CIN078644519XG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/078644519X.jpg?v=1750745785"},{"product_id":"yalla-feminists-book-lina-abirafeh-9781476691152","title":"Yalla Feminists","description":"The Arab region continues to be among the most challenging in the world for the progress of women's rights. Equality remains elusive for women and vulnerable groups in the region due to traditional patriarchal cultures, protracted crises, lack of religious freedom, discriminatory legal frameworks, and chronic insecurity. The strongest indicator of peace in any country is in its treatment of women, but the story of women's rights in the region is one of patchy progress and major regress. And today, women are experiencing a massive backlash against their rights and fundamental freedoms.\u2028   And yet, there is hope. Feminists--particularly young feminists--from the Arab region fight tirelessly for their rights and are leading movements around the region pushing for change. This story looks at the last 50 years of Arab feminism with a view to understanding what the next 50 years will hold. Built from hundreds of firsthand accounts with women in the region, this book brings together voices across the 22 Arab states to present new pathways to women's rights and gender equality.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51421980688657,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51421981606161,"sku":"CIN1476691150G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52121091473681,"sku":"NLS9781476691152","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53269504229649,"sku":"CIN1476691150VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1476691150.jpg?v=1750923575"},{"product_id":"feminist-firestarter-book-lina-abirafeh-9781915983619","title":"Feminist Firestarter","description":"\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eFeminist Firestarter\u003c\/i\u003e is a small book with big plans. A call to action.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThere are four billion women in the world, yet we still have to argue for equality.Yes, there is progress. But inequality and oppositiion persist everywhere. Equality isn't just about equal rights in the law; it is about our fundamental human right to live lives that are rich and full and fair - to go where we want and be who we want and wear what we want and love who we want.\u003cbr\u003e The world is failing women and girls. This isn't just a minor glitch; it's a pervasive inequality that could take generations to fix. Even with some gains, women still get shortchanged in education - with millions of girls out of school and countless women illiterate; in healthcare - with rights to control our own bodies under attack; in the economy - with less pay and more unpaid care work; in politics - with a fraction of leadership roles. This fight isn't over, it'sjust getting started.\u003cbr\u003e This book is a call to action, a call to join together to overcome the overwhelm, to strengthen the resistance, and ultimately to make inequality just that little bit less common. it is a call to hope.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53619285262609,"sku":"NGR9781915983619","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781915983619.jpg?v=1780525595"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-lina-abirafeh.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
