http://www.feministlawprofessors.com/2009/04/brave-afghani-women-protest-law-change/ Nearly all of us root for fairness, not for our own sex. - Nicholas Kristof Tue, 07 Feb 2012 15:26:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 http://www.feministlawprofessors.com/2009/04/brave-afghani-women-protest-law-change/comment-page-1/#comment-4707 Poppy Fri, 17 Apr 2009 20:25:33 +0000 http://feministlawprofessors.com/?p=10019#comment-4707 These women's bravery is amazing and I commend them! We just comemmorated 50 years since the Tibetan women's uprising, a non-violent display of protest where 15,000 Tibetan women took to the streets of Lhasa, unarmed, to oppose the Chinese occupation. There's a great documentary about the protest called <a href="http://womenoftibet.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=42&Itemid=42" rel="nofollow">A Quiet Revolution</a> that shows on PBS sometimes, you can see a trailer and buy a copy at that site. Women face such increased risks for their protest efforts, these stories are incredibly moving and inspire me to stand in protest myself, because it's far easier for me to do so.
