Welcome

Youth And Law My experiences with the law and justice pre and after arrival in Australia Adila Karimi

Youth Law in Afghanistan Afghanistan has been always subject to war There is no particular law for youth Injustice between the high society (wealthy) and working society (poor) Lack of education has minimized understanding of youth problems and their needs Lack of opportunity to get education

It’s time for them be in school!

Decades of war has caused Afghan youth to suffer from many difficulties like: Being responsible of having families expenses on their shoulders Lack of skills and education cause youth to do illegal things ( drugs, crime, theft…) that cause them to go behind bars Being subject to sexual assaults Sex discrimination in the society due to ignorance, boys are preferred more then girls

Girls are forced to obey laws made by the family for them Girls are forced to obey laws made by the family for them Early and forced marriages are still one of the common things that government is aware of but does nothing about it Early and forced marriages are still one of the common things that government is aware of but does nothing about it

As results: As a result I can say that today’s youth is tomorrow's future. How society treats them today they will treat society same tomorrow to avoid misunderstanding listening can bring a big difference As a result I can say that today’s youth is tomorrow's future.
