I take music for granted; I can sing any time, any place that I want. These Afghan women must secret away their love of song, hide from police when practicing, and perform anonymously (if given a chance to sing at all). Their choice is silence and life, or music and death. They are wiling to risk all for their art. Click here for information on the Afghan Music Project.
Every time I sing from now on, I will be lending my voice to the thousands of women who have none of their own.

Thanks for this link. Afghani women are so grossly oppressed & it seems as though we have forgotten them and their plight. xo
