A clear problem with this article lies in the "Raising Awareness" Section of the article. Although, I personally agree with the information presented in this section it is undeniably bias and has a clear objective in what it is trying to convey to the reader. If it was reworded and presented with evidence as opposed to conjecture and personal statements the article and information being presented would become more valid and neutral. E

This section would also be improved if it was separated further into two sections. One detailing the solutions and ways in which the reader can raise awareness and the other detailing the problems at hand.

The sources provided to validate the information in this article are unfortunately also pushing a clear agenda. Which, again, I happen to agree with but the article loses validity when the facts presented come from sources with varying degrees of Un-noted bias.

The viewpoints of those who support a restrictive version of Islam within the area are also neglected in this article. The information in this article needs to be presented in a more neutral manner, allowing the reader to absorb all the facts presented and form an independent opinion.

It would also be beneficial to go into more depth about the life as a woman in Afghanistan.

The above link is a reliable source detailing the bleakness Afghan women face in terms of survival, education, and human rights.

A few questions/viewpoints it might be beneficial to answer/address in this article are:

What can be done to address the societal problems women are facing in terms of "human rights violated, including domestic violence, sexual and mental violence, forced and underage marriage, being exchanged as compensation for a crime, honor killings, and being denied education." at the systemic level as opposed to attempting to mitigate damage done?

Why is the cultural shift from militant/strict Islam to a more tolerant version of the religion so crucial? And what are the specific changes this shift would produce in society?

We would like to revert back to the information that was made on September 13. Ww44aaww (talk) 15:43, 19 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly, that's not possible. The information (which was written by you) violates multiple aspects of WP:NPOV, and is something that you might put onto your organization's website, but not suitable for a Wikipedia article (especially things like "We"). This guideline is also relevant in your case. Please note that Wikipedia is not means of promotion, so any revisions which attempt to add promotional content will be undone by other editors (just as it was done in this case). Familiarizing yourself with Wikipedia's core policies will help future proposed revisions to be accepted. And please, don't edit the article directly, instead proposing all content to be added under the request edit tags. Edit request declined. Regards, VB00 (talk) 18:16, 25 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

"Translated" to Simple English

[edit]

Hello, I "translated" this page into Simple English; with this, I found that there's a lot of bias currently in the article:

  • At the moment it lacks a neutral viewpoint; no matter what this organizatio is, or what they have done, there will always be people who are critical about it. Such references shouldn't be difficult to find, and a section about criticism should be added. We are not selling a product here, we try to give unbiased info.
  • No matter what you write about images or illustrations help; they can make understanding easier. Of course they need to be chosen thoughtfully. We currently don't have any images.
