Women in Afghanistan

August 18, 2009 / 70 Comments

I was watching the news and saw this Afghan woman, Farida Bayat, who is running for office. She gets death threats every day simply because she is a woman running for one of the nine provincial council seats set aside for women. The news story also mentioned that women in Afghanistan have been jailed for being raped because it is considered committing adultery! So shocking and sad. I hate how women are viewed. I really commend Farida for wanting to change
the way women are viewed and being brave enough to take a stand!

I am so happy so many of you are loving my new hair as much as I am. I was nervous at first to go for it, but I’m so glad I did! It looks like the press is loving it too :)

Take a look through this weeks press clippings to see what’s been going on with me in the press this week.

Burma needs our help!

This is a still image of a PSA we filmed weeks before a cyclone tragically thwarted Myanmar. The military has been oppressing the people of Burma for a long time, and it is an eerie coincidence that we're just now seeing the effects on a catastrophic scale. I will post the video again soon -- I had to take it down because it was not yet ready to air. Sorry, it was premature for me to post it in the first place!  

Hey guys,

I just wanted share with you how I feel about the tragic cyclone that recently hit Burma.

The death toll may wind up being something astronomical like 100,000 people (I read this on CNN.com). And the country's government just started accepting aid from other countries (finally!)

My sisters and I recently did a public service announcement, which you can see here, about Burma's political plight. Now, the region needs our help more than ever! You can read more here about our PSA shoot and here on how to help.

It just makes me think: A few months ago I had no idea about the problems of Burma... and now I am simply devastated.

Are you going to do something to help?

xoxo,
Kim
