Human Rights

Parvana's Journey is full of many human rights issues. One of them is the fact that the Taliban is bombing innocent people for no apparent reason. Its also is inhumane because people are staying in this camp- unhealthy, hungry, tired, cramped, crowded, and unsanitary. That goes against human rights by all means. Parvana stuggles throughout the book, wanting things to be fair for her but they never are. Cities are bombed for the mere reason of hatred. Also, no one is fair to females! Girls have their hands/fingers cut off just for having nail polish. They cannot have jobs outside of the home. They are judged, and verbally abused. All in all, this book has many human rights issues.
