Study:
"This report is dedicated to the memory of a former
Afghan teacher who, during the reign of the Taliban, risked her life by running
an underground school for girls from her home. As the Director of Women's
Affairs in Kandahar Province, she worked tirelessly to champion efforts to get
all Afghan girls back into school, and to provide professional and vocational
training for women. Safia Ama Jan was shot and killed outside her home in
Kandahar on September 25, 2006.
"The motives for attacks vary between conflicts and
within conflicts, and can be multi-layered. In Afghanistan and Pakistan, many of
the assaults against girls' schools or those who work in them are carried out by
extremist Islamic groups........"
Afghanistan: "Night letters were being left in
homes, on roadsides en route to schools, and in mosques, threatening violence
against individuals or communities, warning them against sending children,
particularly girls, to school and against teaching."
