To Build a Home

In this episode, we react to the recent tragedy that struck a maternity hospital in Dasht-e-Barchi, Afghanistan. This horrible incident accompanied several similar attacks that took place only a few months after the United States peace agreement with the Taliban. What do these attacks tell us about does the future of Afghanistan? The healthcare of women in Afghanistan? We further discuss the concept of survivor's guilt as it pertains to Afghans in the west. Survivor's guilt can fuel a need to help people in Afghanistan who have suffered from the repercussions of war. How can we prevent human rights violations in Afghanistan from thousands of miles away? How does our unity play a role in spreading awareness towards  issues in Afghanistan?

Om Podcasten

This podcast is dedicated to the women of Afghanistan and serves to strike a dialogue about some of the taboos in Afghan culture. Despite the common knowledge that women have faced varying forms of oppression in our community, the subject or domestic violence is still considered to be taboo amongst Afghans. We hope that by sharing the stories of survivors, we can continue the conversation on DV in Afghan homes, so our community may begin to heal together. We will also share the narratives of trailblazing Afghan women who have left an impact on society in Afghanistan and anywhere else in the world. We hope that our episodes will spark new ambitions among our listeners and ultimately eliminate the silence on important issues that serve as a barrier to our success.
