Afghan Girls not Allowed in School

Over in Afghanistan, people believe women should not go to school or work, they should stay home, cook and clean. When Shamisa Hussiani was walking down the street a man asker her was she going to school. When she answered yes, he sprayed her whole face with burning acid. They’re doing this to force girls to stay home and not go to school. At Mirwais School for Girls there’s about 1,300 total. On November 12, men were surrounding the school on motorcycles with a jar, a spray bottle & a squirt gun with acid in it. Luckily, they only hit 11 girls and 4 teachers. I don’t think is fair because women & girls should be able to go out because they’re just like everyone else. It’s harsh that men are spraying them with acid that burn. Doing this to females is not a good idea. Back in the 17th century, women were not allowed to have any word in government ideas or able to vote. This is similar to that because that long time ago, women weren’t allowed to do anything, and now women/girls aren’t allowed to go to school. I don’t understand why girls aren’t allowed to go to school because of their gender. Even though in Afghanistan women are smarter than men are. The literacy among men in the country is 57% and women’s are 87%. So I don’t think they should stop women from going to to because they’re clearly smart than men.
