Freedom is such a great blessing that when it is snatched away, its value is realized. After coming to power in Afghanistan, the Taliban has been continuously bringing anti-women laws and regulations. Some time ago, girls above the age of twelve were stopped from going to school. Now they have said that women will not be able to say anything in public places. Apart from this, restrictions have also been imposed on women going out alone, going in a car with a man other than the husband and going to court for divorce or any other issue. According to the Taliban, the voice of women distracts men. Not only this, there are many restrictions on women working. They have been declared unfit for big posts. Afghan women can neither raise their voice nor fight against atrocities. Getting a divorce from their cruel husband is a far-fetched idea. The divorce of women who took place before the Taliban rule has also been declared illegal by this government. This means that those women who took divorce of their own free will will have to return to their husbands. The United Nations is condemning the Taliban. Other countries are also condemning them. But for the women, young women and girls who are going through this oppression, there seems to be no option for their freedom, liberation and release at the moment.
Food allergies take a heavy toll
In the last ten years, cases of food allergy have doubled all over the world, especially in Britain. According to the news published in the Daily Mail, the medicines needed to prevent this allergy are not available. In a recent study conducted on 13 million people, it has been found that most of the victims of food allergy are children studying in nursery. Most of the children are allergic to milk, peanuts, eggs and shell fish etc. Dr. Paul Turner, a pediatric allergy specialist associated with this study, says, ‘Many new things have been revealed from this new study. Food allergy has started becoming more fatal than before. But the good thing is that now medicines are also available to prevent it. It is important that these medicines are easily available and everywhere.’ This research has been published in the Lancet Public Health Journal.
Weekends reduce your sleep intake
Are you able to get eight hours of sleep at night? Most of you will answer no. It is even more difficult for women. Going to bed after doing all the housework and getting up early in the morning to send the children to school means compromising with your sleep. This new study related to sleep says that people who are not able to complete their sleep on other days of the week, try to complete their remaining sleep on weekends. Experts have named this ‘sleep debt’.
Experts say that if you complete your sleep quota in this way, then the chances of heart attack are reduced by 28 percent. This study conducted at the European Society of Cardiology Congress in London found that the Chinese people are experts in completing their remaining sleep quota. They do not compromise on sleep. According to the research of Cleveland Clinic involved in this study, the body becomes weak due to incomplete or less sleep and its effect is more visible on women.
