A couple of weeks ago, an email received by a number of female students at AUAF states the following:

Dear xxxxx

I am sorry to tell you that I know one of your secret which I want to tell to everybody at AUAF. You had sex with a person whom I know very well and I have proof and evidence for it. You have two options to stop me for not telling your secret. One is you have to pay me 30000 Dollar or you have to have sex with me. You have two weeks to decide. Send me your phone number I want to talk to you by phone. If you are telling it is not true then I will pass the message to all AUAF students’ instructors, staff because I have all of their emails and I will attach the evidence and proof with the email. Then it will be a big infamy for you. After that you will be not able to proof that it is not true. If you will not reply to this email I will pass the message to everyone after two weeks starting from today.

Best regards

Your best friend


The man who sends these emails to the students, “Mohammad Jawid,” sent the emails not on AUAF email addresses but on the personal emails of the students.

It’s ridiculous,” said one of the recipient who received this vulgar message in a form of blackmail, “how can someone be so immoral?”

I don’t know much about this person but whatever he wrote in the mail indicates that he is an AUAF student,” another mail receiver adds, “Because the person mentions AUAF in the mail.”

Growing harassment and discrimination on women in the university is not being tolerated by students at AUAF. Lida Nadery, Wazhma Frogh, Bilquees Daud, and Zakia Soleiman, came forward and took the initiative to start a group named Self Help Group (SHG).

The founders decided not to suffer in silence and to do something not only for their own benefit but for all the women at AUAF. Lida Nadery, one of the co-founders of SHG, says that, “The purpose of the group is that girls should be able to protect themselves and learn how to stand on their own.” Another SHG founder adds that, “The aim of this group is to create a structure that will be able to raise girls/women’s concerns to the management and student government levels and advocate on behalf of girls/women that are either students or working in the university.”

The group is new but growing; beginning with four girls, they have expended to almost 15. “It is a pleasure and a great honor to fight for one’s right,” said Fareeha Hafiz, one of the members, “I strongly appreciate being a apart of

  5. Feroz Khan Hotak says:

    you also make cute comments ( for your happniess) :)

  6. Kakail says:

  10. Feroz Khan Hotak says:

    Kakail you are funny, lol

    And by the way NP chose a very suitable logo for this group. :)

  11. npopal says:

    @ feroz: you are 100% right. it is very very likely that girls are doing the same thing and using a boys alias to cover up. u have a very valid point and boys should not be the only ones blamed.

    @ Kakail: hahahaha ur so pessimistic. its just hilarious. u seem like u dont have much faith in human kind. ehhhh, i dont blame u.

    the thing that bugs me the most about this article is that not ONE girl got this email but MANY MANY girls got this email….

    anywho, nasria did a good job on this article and im glad she wrote it coz she shed some light on some of the creeps on campus. i honestly think anyone who has this problem should report it so that we can catch the people doing this and get rid of them. they are just disgusting.

  12. Kakail says:

    Honestly, I didn’t know we had angels in Afghanistan.

  13. Feroz Khan Hotak says:

    I didnt know we have this type of dirty people in the AUAF. Its realy shamless action.

    But, one question. Who knows that this can be only boys’ action???? I mean it can alo be possible that girls tease each other. ( its an diea dont mind)

  14. On behalf of the writer, I removed part of your comment. Dear Saif, bad words are bad words. No matter who is saying that…

    The sender of those messages have been growing in a society in which a person cannot learn how to express his/her emotions towards an opposite sex, in an appropriate and effective way. Not only him, but most of us do not know which behavior is appropriate while dealing with, for example, a girl; and vice versa. I don’t believe this is only the responsibility of such a person, but the responsibility of the society on the whole. We grow separately, we live separately, we go to school separately… we don’t know each other: the opposite sex; this is the problem.

    you can not kill emotions, they are existed. But you should learn how to direct them in an effective way. This is the responsibility of the society: to teach us, from childhood, to live in a bisexual society, that is, a society which is comprised of males and females…

  15. While i was scrolling down the articles on this website. My eyes attached on an article named “Don’t suffer in Silence” believe me i stunned when i read it. I can’t control my emotions over that shameless one who has sent these immoral e-mails. So, forgive me for writing these lines. I don’t know how can a person let himself to do such inhuman, unmoral and could cross all bounds of immorality. i believe that, if the sender of those e-mails do respect or honors his mother and sisters in this case he will never dare to look forward others sisters disrespectfully. But, i think he acts towards his mother and sisters the same way as he do with others, so we can’t expect him anything else, but sending shameful e-mails. I have an advice to him, stop sending mails, it would have very bad consequences, ….
