The Golden Needle Sewing School was an underground school for women in Herat, Afghanistan, during the rule of the Taliban. Because women were not allowed to be educated under the strict interpretation of Islamic law introduced by the Taliban,〔("The Taliban's War on Women" ), Physicians for Human Rights, August 1998, accessed 29 July 2010.〕 women writers belonging to the Herat Literary Circle set up a group called the Sewing Circles of Herat, which founded the Golden Needle Sewing School in or around 1996.〔Synovitz, Ron. ("Afghanistan: Author Awaits Happy Ending To 'Sewing Circles Of Herat'" ), ''Radio Free Europe'', March 31, 2004, accessed 29 July 2010. Also see Lamb, Christina. ("Woman poet 'slain for her verse'" ), ''The Sunday Times'', November 13, 2005.〕 Women would visit the school three times a week, ostensibly to sew, but would instead hear lectures given by professors of literature from Herat University. Children playing outside would alert the group if the religious police approached, giving them time to hide their books and pick up sewing equipment. Herat may have been the most oppressed area under the Taliban, according to Christina Lamb, author of ''The Sewing Circles of Herat'', because it was a cultured city and mostly Shi'a, both of which the Taliban opposed.〔 She told Radio Free Europe: ==See also== *Islamic feminism *Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan *Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan *Sewing circle *Sharia *Taliban treatment of women *Women in Islam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Golden Needle Sewing School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
