L’équipe d’Afghanistan Libre a eu l’occasion de présenter le No.100 du magazine ROZ lors de l’inauguration de l’exposition « L’art au féminin » au sein de l’institut Français d’Afghanistan de Kaboul.

C’est entouré de femmes artistes, photographes, politiciennes, toutes vecteurs d’un message fort d’espoir que les journalistes ont exposé leur point du vue quant à la situation de la femme en Afghanistan.

Ces échanges empreints d’émotion, relataient un passé douloureux, un présent complexe et un futur incertain.  Ils montraient aussi et surtout une volonté de changement, une foi des femmes en leurs capacités. Ces femmes, d’origines et milieux différents, ont en commun une belle énergie positive les poussant sans cesse à se battre pour gagner une place dans ce pays qu’elles chérissent.

Anciennes refugiées, afghanes de cœur ou de naissance, les droits de la femme sont pour elles un sacerdoce ; le témoignage,  un véritable devoir. Leur quotidien est fait de combats difficiles et d’un idéal duquel elles se rapprochent un peu tous les jours.

Les journalistes du magazine ROZ ont particulièrement discuté avec les nombreuses jeunes étudiantes présentes. Ces  jeunes filles étaient curieuses de voir ces mères de familles ayant un emploi impliquant un tel engagement. Quant aux journalistes, elles les ont encouragées dans leurs études, les ont poussées à accomplir ce qu’elles désiraient dans la vie. Toutes ont été très touchées de ces échanges brefs, qui disaient  l’essentiel, ces quelques mots que ces jeunes afghanes ont besoin d’entendre : « Tu peux le faire ».

Les hommes n’étaient pas en reste, à 3 jours de la journée de la femme, ils étaient nombreux à s’être déplacés pour saluer l’engagement des femmes présentes et à les encourager.  Ambassadeurs et étudiants se côtoyaient avec beaucoup de simplicité autour de sculptures, de peintures et de photographies dont ces femmes fortes étaient les auteures.

Souhaitons-leur beaucoup de courage et continuons à les soutenir comme par le passé.
