Javed identified, “If only Afghan men had protested as much against Taliban’s ban on women as they do against Australian cricket team’s refusal to play cricket with a team which was actually nurtured politically and fully ethnicized. Cricket is not more important than women’s basic rights.”
If solely Afghan males had protested as a lot in opposition to Taliban’s ban on ladies as they do in opposition to Australian cricket staff’s refusal to play cricket with a staff which was really nurtured politically and totally ethnicized. Cricket just isn’t extra vital than ladies’s fundamental rights.
