Empowering local women empowers the local economy. That's the thinking behind the inauguration of a new women's center in Herat, Afghanistan, built with the help of the Italian Provincial Reconstruction Team. Women will take business classes and have a marketplace for their handicrafts as well as having a support network for widows and victims of domestic abuse. Produced by Ruth Owen of NatoChannel.

  • I like the bit at 2:44 where she says "no country can truly prosper without the participation of it's female population." I think it's a great truth and, although it's sad to say so, it's the argument that is most likely to succeed in convincing a male-dominated society to accept that it's time they stopped dominating.
