you know that i'm sorry but it was not. something you. they have two schools they have that i too would works with it's men's and the ministry is one that woman is asian enjoys i'm sure. i'm supposed to say. many

factories view. and felt they were still the work to elect and the universities did with this is freedoms. that no one respects the lows here. on the show. the opponents for their own good for their protection either through the autobahn of. a million or if women don't wear their headscarf they will be harassed raped injured and humiliated. there is no longer move the gun is the low we have the woman in full of it we have the woman in we have the woman in the universe there's we have the woman in the government we have minister . can you imagine that that that that suspect that they had. put that way they exchange but that doc just put out of their plan to have a funny joke and played it that right now. nine

percent of. females as a group a university woman out of working buy into it by go out a man and they see it in really they do this is so every two woman. they are independent economy independent they have some salary this is maybe one or two percent 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 heroin to missouri sharif and kabul. in the provinces in the villages the situation hasn't changed. 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 on the brutality against women and children. network and the regime supports. the taliban. soldiers. across much of the country and the people of afghanistan especially women are rejoicing afghan women

are the bush administration latched 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. 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. for the rights and dignity of women the media talking to the whole country we are going to liberate the women of afghanistan. can liberate their people. you certainly can't do it

through the barrel of a gun. unfortunately now did the recent permanent civil war and we were once again imprisoned by the fear. and things are going backwards someone. was mad when i was fourteen years old now i have six children. are stuff that is twenty four my marriage was like like many at that marriage it wasn't forced marriages but that was at the end. i used to say that accidentally has that this. is what is supposed to. leave me he believes woman strike by itself. this is a joy in the 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 the young generation that want to play her role and just today dust off a smile haunt. wanted criminal minds and the rest of us gone and his puppet of you

know as well and then they beat a knife to a stop not poor the women in the thread due to the shaky situation within the country many of them a journalist etc and many of them have been assassinated and therefore it has spread far too high a price to act the us woman who has been killed. in kandahar my john and kandahar. and nadia and jim and head off. 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 mosque a number of digits needa come together and decided me. because. i went to that province and created the show and so now woman. that i know way and

have the protection because it is something. she could provide a huge but woman so we cannot control over a woman and i would probably say if you follow. you know what you have been a good place then ask if you code that. you would do a good job with a god. and right now one of the things we can do is pressure. our government 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 operation and the construction. only affected social change. can be the afghans themselves afghan men and women. for me and i try to for. college i mean leadership and. to each woman be the leaders of the

future. we should be going in and provide 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. you have asked me if men give women the right to drive a car to join the army to fight with these other rights that must be taken by a woman who has to drive or get a degree. boy or women can do the same as men. because women are capable. of these are not rights that men give us but rights that we have to take. the horses so we need to work with but the main to teach them that that is their right. because men are the

decision making. men are the. man who can make change make conductance so you don't have to work with me so we don't have to this is if you go what woman stood on for me tonight because you just know what i mean. reason for. afghanistan is not like another. country to have to score ticks if you encourage a woman. about her gripes and tell her that you have that's your right to have access to education to go to disco and it's going to look at it just in front of her door the husband doesn't allow to. allowed or she could enjoy freedom it gives for me to speak to. them to don't go to school or university it's coming up women want to go screw do 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 local social workers etc who are going to go out you can have westerners going now and you can have westerners who are have a high profile. in that country because they deal with it and they when the local people go out the local people say you are not here as afghans or as pakistanis there is in the nation you are here because these american christian groups. 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 that we won't be as strong as we can be.

do we speak your language i mean some of the law and out of the. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little eternity of angola's story. or you hear. the choice at all to spanish find out more visit actuality tito's comb. live . live. player. play.

led. police . to live. live live. live

. she's on working with the how 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 when they were all singing in the time of the taliban you couldn't even leave your house. after music on this don't do little. seven years and this family planning. these adulterers angry when every day and warm in hospital in the biz and talk about the family premiums to the midst of bullshit to me did i will show and tell you it is not each i.v. program so 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. missiles i'm in reality what i would like to do is work as much as possible for my country for my people because my people having me. any needs for this reason i also make educated films films that can give them positive messages. as a big i was only new royal because she was famous. you know i had seen her work i knew who she was but i didn't know or in person when i met her i was immediately taken by her character her work her personality.

so we decided to get married there was also this film was the first fell in head out since. when but i can not shooting at that time. in two thousand and two when. i decided. i must make direct this feel so it was difficult for me because your didn't know you know family. who. had a why. activist myself because they don't like. to be. in movie and seem one year i said for. the office house but now. i have the rights to produce like film straight the ball to the present and another. one to the exhibition that you

see here has fifty exhibits joined by seven different artists six of these are just some men and one is a one. again. i've done i've been drawing carey catchier support ten years i'm not an artist i have a degree in political sciences but i draw in relation to political topics these particular drawings refer to the current political situation. it's nothing. more than all of them even afghanistan that you don't want your. truth it's.

thought of and others like. afghanistan has never had a caricature 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 to. eight right now we have a lot of woman and favorite students which is true but noticed that we have a family of actors i'm not going to unfold makers we have fared well 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 bannister. irresponsibility like this. has been given to him and. 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 being a woman is being conscious of your own rights. my job is to follow criminals in the province and in fifteen districts of huron the departments that i manage has

one hundred employees. of these one hundred employees ten they're 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 became a following through with their responsibilities and taking orders from. so little it's not easy to fully understand the courage of these women who put themselves out there and do their best every day. by wire or be paid but i want to work hard. but yeah i want to head. at them why. i like it. i live in the given my role in the responsibility that i have in my job 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 or. i'm in danger and i have to 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 but a bit and take you over walk but we achieved. and security. to be achieved. poverty. one of the ways you can judge how the status of women is is looking at the issue of

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 nineteen sixty so one when they go. to school. and they see how they are free and free but even with the car five they waste quotes and 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 which you so much there are many women but the majority are women who have a political role many of them all linked to fundamentalist groups so i'm going to. i'm sure 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 or you know sort of their woman is important delegates or appointed by the warlords or. some of their women into government and so. and of today's women's point of view. i work in the news editing 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 thinking when i was nine years old or fifty years my work has been to weave carpets oh no hope i have lived too long for six years i have three children two girls and one boy and this is a particularly difficult period for us but that let's talk about the development of women in society i have complete is a number of cinema to graphic projects. because we have money to be

a station money to us. t.v. station and argue a station and also a newspaper or magazine. monthly. we have money and also a programme about women growth of oklahoma growth ok and that's why women and people know about their rights now that we are in we had more been than nine hundred which came on in coming. in really just that in this case all the way like woman there are problems that women face not only in hair out but in all of afghanistan. other 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 stand down mystic while it is four

years old maybe three and half years old babies five year old babies twelve years old girls fourteen year old girl take it right. normally if. injured the wife's the husband don't accompany them to hospitals their companies by the member of their families you know and afghanistan beating your wife beating your family beating your children isn't considered a crime. the police reports mainly regard physical violence. however i believe the majority of women i can say ninety nine percent saw first psychological violence but it isn't trip or to. 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 married her

husband he has never taken care of her 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. woman in afghanistan with. a. break i get my. husband. this. has been growing.

more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images the world has been seeing from the streets of canada. giant corporations are old today. am. i.
