afghan girls

In the article Afghan girls, scarred by acid, defy terror, it talks about people not women to be educated. The story about the girl named Shamsia getting acid poured on her while she was on her way to school is really crazy. The  fact that people don't want girls to be educated is outrageous. But her parents don't let anything stop her from getting her education, they even said that she has to go to school even if she risk getting killed. That statement would have me so scared, that I would never go to school. Also the fact that these people were targeting school, ready to hurt little girls, teachers or even just women period because they are trying to better themselves and get education is crazy. I thought stuff like this didn't exit anymore, but i guess it does. I mean people should be glad that kids and women are dedicating their selves to go and get a education to better them selves.The fact that in a class room that was once full soon became empty is sad. The parents of these girls were scare to send their daughters to school scared of the fact that they could be killed or hurt bad. The government promised police, and a foot bridge across a nearby road, and a bus but they should not have to do all that just to ensure safety on these girls. The main thing should be catching whoever is in charge of this.
