This
young woman, was married by-force at the age of fourteen, tortured and
battered as a bride and imprisoned in a bathroom for five months by
her husband and in-laws. She was treated horrifically only because she
refused to become a prostitute. She claimed not only her body and
womanhood, but also her freedom as she resisted for months under
torture and inhumane treatment. While Sahar Gul's mother-in-law,
father-in-law and sister-in-law are in prison now, her husband remains
loose.
We
are naming our safe internet cafe for women after Sahar Gul to commend
her resilience as she is recovering emotionally and physical, wish her
a beautiful start for a better life, and cry for justice with her. We
hope that this internet cafe will be a safe place for women to use to
connect to the world.
Hereby,
we are inviting you to be part of celebrating Sahar Gul and the
opening of this safe haven for networking and communication of Afghan
women on March 8th, 2012!
The
opening will be held at our internet cafe at 3:00pm. Come to see the
beautiful venue that is equipped with technology with a taste of
traditional Afghan culture and be part of a strong voice for justice.
Who knows, we might even have a surprise for you.
Date and Time: Thursday, March 8, 2012- 3:00pm-4:00pm
Place: Sahar Gul Net Cafe, Passed Rabia Balkhi High School, Street 1, Karte Char, Kabul, Afghanistan
Contact: 0793-358-677
If
you can't come but you support this effort, we are still raising funds
to make this internet cafe sustainable. You can contribute through

hope to see you there!
