“The apparent reason behind these cold-blooded, shameless murders was  that the four completely innocent victims offended your twisted notion  of honour, a notion of honour that is founded upon the domination and  control of women, a sick notion of honour that has absolutely no place  in any civilized society.”

Afghanistan – touch down in flight from Augustin Pictures on Vimeo.

As each of us has his own impression of Afghanistan that is predominantly marked with pictures of foreign forces, explosions and terror, we were privileged to have access to capture daily life and portrait some people of Afghanistan. 

We hope the pictures you know will merge with the pictures you see and will enrich your view on the country in the Hindu Kush.

redlightpolitics:

Meet Camila Vallejo, president of the Federation of Chilean Students (FECH) and leader of the protests for education reform in Chile. On Thursday, the march she led gathered more than 100,000 people who came in support of students’ rally for free university education. Yesterday, “Families for education”, an informal get together for families with young children, gathered more than 1 million participants. She was the main speaker and organizer.
I am surprised English speaking media is not all over her case already. She has encountered bitter misogyny from government ministers that refer to her as “the bitch”, she has successfully created a political movement that is demanding concrete action and she is extremely media savvy and articulate. Charismatic, young, smart and beautiful, those are not qualities found in many political figures these days.

Up on a pedestal or down on a pedestal, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman.

The Robber Bride, Margaret Atwood

“You know, it’s quite an undertaking to start loving somebody. You have to have energy, generosity, blindness… There is even a moment, right at the start, where you have to jump across an abyss; if you think about it you don’t do it.” — Jean-Paul Sartre, Nausea
