Afghanistan: Tor Vergata joins appeal for women
Our University adheres to the appeal for Afghan female researchers and students
In the light of the recent ban on attending universities for the women in Afghanistan, Tor Vergata University of Rome accepts appeal of Association against the violence D.i.Re-Donne in Rete to building an institutional network of hospitality, "Culture cannot be stopped: we must help Afghan women to study and live free from the oppression of a power that limits all freedom".
"Women's freedom - reads the appeal - is hostage to a regime that has rapidly excluded them from public life and education, thus preparing the ground for a future of oblivion". "We cannot stand still in the face of oppression and the annulment of fundamental freedoms - declared Antonella Veltri, president of D.i.Re - symbolically and concretely opening our faculties to women who will manage to arrive is a real answer to enhance intelligence and to reaffirm that women's freedom is an essential element for building a dignified future for all".
