a terrorist plot to kill vladimir putin courted by moscow and here which was planned shortly after the presidential election on sunday three suspects arrested for a bomb plot in ukraine have confessed to preparing to assassinate the prime minister . the syrian people awaiting the results of the landmark referendum on a new constitution but the stepped up pressure with a new sanctions on president assad regime. and cash rich in germany expected to back a new rescue deal for greece despite the news of won't be enough to save the country meanwhile spain's feared to be sold succumbing to a similar fate. following the nine eleven attacks the u.s. started an anti terror campaign in afghanistan at the time america's first lady said the campaign would finally give the afghan women their freedom a decade later we ask if anything's changed stay with us.

and tell us that i get that you know i should look up and invoke tempi and joe you actually come other than me about. my little boy yes all right. let's get it to him but not. the other.

they have two schools they have that i too would do works with but cements and the mystery is one that woman is asian enjoys i'm sure i'm uncivil to say there were many factors if you will still and felt they were still there with two alike and each universities. this is freedoms. that no one respects lozier longmont all the nation look. live on for their own goods for their protection either through that he wrote above. i don't remember if women don't wear their headscarf so they will be harassed raped injured and humiliated. whole there is no longer the gun is the low we have the woman in

parliament we have the women in media we have the woman in the universities we have the women in the government we have minister of state and you can imagine that the that the suspect that they have. put their way they exchange a daughter but that duck just put out their plan to have a funny duck and play with that right now. nine percent of. females is good to university woman out of working by go out a man and. really they do this is so every two women they are independent economy independent they have some somebody this is maybe one or two pressing no more most of them when we say that the situation of women in

afghanistan has improved you can only take into consideration places such as harrow to missouri sharif and kabul. in the provinces in the villages the situation hasn't changed on the summit yet women are still victims of violence and rape. good morning i'm laura bush and i'm delivering this week's radio address to kick

off a worldwide effort to focus on the brutality against women and children. network and the regime in afghanistan the taliban. regime is now across much of the country and the people of afghanistan especially women are rejoicing afghan women are the bush administration with blatche on to the issue of the oppression of women now women were oppressed a long time and you never heard anybody talk about it but when the u.s. wanted to invade all the. president. bush. said military. and women are no longer imprisoned in their homes they can listen to music and teach their daughters without fear of punishment the fight against terrorism is also

a fight for the rights and dignity of women the media talking to the whole country saying we are going to liberate the women of afghanistan. can liberate their people you can liberate. and you certainly can't do it through the barrel of a gun. unfortunately now that there is a permanent civil war and we are once again imprisoned by the fear. and things are going backwards somewhat. when i was fourteen years old now i have six children. are stuff that is twenty four my marriage was like like many other marriage it wasn't forced marriages but that was. i used to say that accidently has that this. is what is supposed to. he

believes what mr right. this is a one of us and head out that has been has been stopped the stopped by by by knife because she has a right you and i democrats young generation that want to play her all and today this command us off a smile. wanted criminal means and the rest of afghanistan and his puppet of you know as well and and then they beat a knife to a stop not sure where the women in the thread due to the shaky situation within the country many of them are journalists that sad and many of them have been assassinated and therefore it has spread far too high a price to act the west woman who has been culled kakar in kandahar my john in kandahar. and not beyond jim and head out gone much twenty five

fearful journalists and couple. there are some end to violence something that didn't exist before unfortunately when the beating the daily and the public mask. a number of and they do it's need to come together and that decided me. because i mean i went to that province and created the show and so now woman. could and away and have a protection mechanism there and she could provide a huge for a woman so we cannot control over that woman and i would probably say. you know what you have the native place to ask that if you that community that. you will give in to a good job but the god. and

right now one of the things we can do is pressure our governments for afghan women to be at the table with any discussions about reconciliation any discussions around really incorporating the taliban back into the government because we believe. cannot truly prosper without the participation its population and the construction.

only affected social change you can be. the afghans themselves afghan men and women and now you're working for me and i try to open for. college of women leadership and i'm stuck to teach women to be the leaders of the future that we should be going in and providing economic opportunities educational opportunities but it's all to really for the afghan people to determine how their social progress is going to proceed. rights aren't given they have to be taken have got to stomach so you have asked me if men give women the right to drive a car to join the army or to fight with these other rights that must be taken by a woman who has to drive or get a degree book on

a boy or women can do the same as men because women are capable john but overtook the these are not rights that men give us but rights that we have to take what some have called a halt as big so we need to work with but the main to teach them that they're right . about a member of their family. because men are the station making. men are the. man who can make change make a difference so you do not work with men so we don't have boys this is if you go what woman is too good we're like one for me tonight because you know what i mean us if you reason pauper. i'm going to spawn is not like another. european country to have discord takes it encourage a woman. or about what rights and tell her that you have that's your right to have

access to education and go to disco and it's going to look at it jeff and tranda door that the husband doesn't allow to buy that have been allowed to have but the joy from our freedom it gets for me it's been to. them too don't go to school or university it's coming. across could produce good. it's a little bit like going out into the villages to convince people with regard to birth control what you've really got to do is you've got to get local people local religious leaders and local social workers etc who are going to go out you can have westerners going out and you can have westerners who are have a high profile in that country because they deal with the local people go out the local people say you're not here as afghans or as

pakistanis are in the nations you're here because these american christian groups. you see are trying to impose on us a social policy that we don't believe in in order to make us weaker you know so we'll have smaller families you know so we won't be as strong as we can be.

she's on i want to because there are many more hospitals where you can get education about sexual health family planning things that you couldn't do in the time of the taliban. in the time of the taliban you couldn't even leave your house . after missing it in this. seven years and this family planning. this is a doctor when every day and warm in hospital in the biz and talk about the family for the names of the midst of war to me to. tell you is not

each i.v. program is that every day. the films that i produce some mainly about women's rights. should i tell

stories about the problems that afghan women face in their lives when i do i make different types of films artistic educated documentaries also some adverts. in reality what i would like to do is work as much as possible for my country for my people because my people have many needs for these reasons i also make educated films films that can give them positive messages. as a big. boy because she was famous. you know i had seen her work i knew who she was but i didn't know or in person with the money and when i met her i was immediately taken by her character her work her

personality. so we decided to get married as there was also this film was the first fell in head out. but. when but i cannot for king at that time. in two thousand and two when the taliban in afghanistan i decided. i must make direct this feeling so it was difficult for me because no didn't know you know no family. accept to have a doctor or have a wife or be activist to my fellow because they don't like. to be. in the movie and seen the woman one year i'll search for acting.

the office house but now. i have the rights to produce what microfilm strike the ball to or to present to another thing and i want to take the exhibition that you see here has fifty exhibits drawn by seven different artists six of these artists a man and one is a woman. again. i know i've been drawing carey catchier sport ten years i'm not an artist i have a degree in political sciences but i draw in relation to political topics so these particular drawings refer to the current political situation. if nothing. more than all of them even in

afghanistan that we don't want here. it's. me and others like him with afghanistan has never had a character to exit bishan before. it's the first time because obviously it is about works of critical said tire. and unfortunately their ability to accept criticism here in afghanistan most of all in the political field has notably decreased. computer. right now we have a lot of woman and favorite students which is true but noticed that we have a family of actor and activist and for me we have fair male musician. farewell. that's. moving ahead.

my name is maria bashir and i'm the chief prosecutor of the herat province. i've had the position for about four years. and it's the first time in the history of ghana system that's a responsibility like this. has been given to her. but. if you ask me if i'm happy to be born a woman then i'll say yes even if i have to face many problems even if the situation is difficult and it takes a lot of effort in such a traditional society above all be no woman is being conscious of your own rights

like my job is to follow criminals in the province and in fifteen districts of. the departments. that i manage has one hundred employees. of these one hundred employees down there are women and the rest are all men i'm legally responsible i'm the one that coordinates and checks the work so they have to answer to me to be capable of following through with their responsibilities and taking orders from. so it's not easy to understand the courage of these women who put themselves out there and do their best every day. the papers i want to work hard and however. people yeah i want to head. at them why. i like it.

i'll imagine that huma given my role in the responsibility that i have in my jump my life is in danger because i have to deal with criminals day off to date. and for em to government groups it is unacceptable that a woman has such a responsible position. for this reason i'm in danger and i have to move about always with an ass court and an armored car. unfortunately things have not changed very much for afghan women when you think of all the blood that has been spilled from two thousand i don't want to now be able a bit and take you over work but we achieved if. insecurity. but to be achieved. poverty.

one of the ways you can judge how the status of women is is looking at the issue. maternal mortality how many women die in childbirth. one out of five afghan women died in childbirth and think it's one of the highest rates in the entire world it was under the taliban and it continues now. this is the picture of the woman and nineteen young girls one nine hundred sixty so one when they go. to school. and they see how they are free but even with the cough they wish they were close and they are going to school and they're going to turn it on if they condition the women has been one of the reasons for military intervention in the country where she so much there are many women but the majority are women who have a political role many of them are linked to fundamentalist groups so i'm going to

go home and i'm sure that there is a high number of women in the afghan parliament. twenty eight percent are women but many of these twenty eight percent belong to the norm you know sort of all their women as important delegates or appointed by the warlords or seniority that you send some of their women into government you know the person. and part of today's women's point of view. i work in the news editor an office of radio most day and i present a show for women transmitted by the radio station our program talks about different subjects mostly accounts on the condition of women in herat and their activities. are i started working when i was nine years old or fifty years my work has been to weave carpets no hope i have lived too long for six years i have three children two girls and one boy this is

a particularly difficult period for us but that let's talk about the development of women in society i have completed a number of cinema to graphic projects. because we have money. creation money to argue a. t.v. station and argue official and also a newspaper. or magazine. monthly. we have money and also a programme about women growth of oklahoma ok and that's why women and people know about their rights now that we're in we had more been than nine hundred which came on in coming. in really just that in this case all the way in fragments woman there are problems that women face not only in hair out but in all of afghanistan. and the problems are many for example in families they are victims of violence perpetrated by their fathers husbands and

brothers rape cases is historic i'm not going to stop these dumbest equality for years for maybe two and a half years for babies five year old babies twelve years old girls fourteen year old girls take it right. normally if they injure their wives the husband don't accompany them to hospitals or their companies by the member of their families you know guy in afghanistan beating your wife beating your family beating your children isn't considered a crime. the police reports mainly regard physical violence. i believe the majority of women i can say ninety nine percent suffers psychological violence but it isn't trip or to. doubt the other day for example i saw a fifteen year old girl who was the second wife of

a fifty five year old man. because here ninety nine point nine percent of all marriages are arranged. cheater she told us that from the day she had my her husband he has never taken care of or that he has only beaten her and that she can't make any decisions at all she was sick and she told us my husband doesn't want me to get better more. from women in afghanistan with. a. break i get right in there has been. this. has been growing.
