Because today is the International Woman Day. I was browsing the internet to get some quotes for my article for this special day...and I found your poem and my article change- I answered your words in there....http://serenia-words.blogspot.com/ "Be proud to be a woman because you are a fighter...You never gave up when they slander you, you never gave up when they hit you, and you never gave up when they stopped loving you! You carried your disappointment with you for centuries! Because you are a strong woman!". I hope I got a good answer in my words for you. See the rest, in there! Hi Freshta,

I am so overwhelmed with emotion. I have so much respect for the women of your country. No words could describe the way this poem just made me feel. This is amazing work!!! Please remember that without women there would be no men! They would be lost without you. You are the back bone of your families whether the men want to believe/acknowledge it or not. I pray that things change for you. Keep writing!! I stumbled accross this website doing research for a school paper on the hardships that women of Afghanistan face. I am so overwhelmed with emotion.

Because you are a woman you can give birth. Because you are a woman you are truly special. More than us men... Because you are a woman your eyes are open to the world.
Because you are a woman you can give birth.
Because you are a woman you are truly special.

More than us men…

Keep writing! This is truly beautiful. Thank you for your courage and your clarity. Just a woman. That is my mistake. Just being a woman. We must all fight, wherever we are, to challenge this truth and change it. You give me purpose. Again, Thank you. Your sister, Joanna in Boston MA USA Dear Freshta,
