Sesame Street has always taught kids valuable lessons. **w, in Afghanistan, those lessons are set to include the importance of gender equality.*
The country's version of Sesame Street, Baghch-e-SimSim,last year introduced a character whose aim was to inspire Afghani girls. **w, the show is adding a boy muppet who will show kids the importance of respecting women, the Associated Press reported (https://apnews.com/2dd1c7935f644506ac2d9b24735a5805/New-boy-muppet-in-Afghanistan-promotes-gender-equality?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=AP).*
The new muppet is a 4-year-old boy named Zeerak, which means "smart" in both of Afghanistan's official languages, Pashtun and Dari. His sister is 6-year-old Zari.*
