Check out Women in Afghanistan: PBS's The NewsHour on Friday, March 20 at 7pm ET (check local listings)

PBS The NewsHour correspondent Margaret Warner visited our offices in Afghanistan to view first hand the status of women in Afghanistan and how women in war-torn regions are rebuilding their lives.

I'm from Afghanistan. My father taught me that my wife is my everything and I'm her everything - even when we lived under Taliban before moving to US.

My wife is the most beautiful woman on the planet to me - I truly believe that. To put a hand on her is inconceivable. We read books together and we read to our daughters. My daughters are going to grow up and respect themselves in every way: that's my #1 house rule.

Insha'Allah soon I can begin to donate to womenforwomen as well. My good friend donates and sponsers a woman and she loves it.

@doomsdaymonster7 Masha'Allah for this incredibly beautiful comment. We need to hear these kinds of things from Afghani men. The world believes that we Muslims are full of hate and oppression and violence. Its refreshing and so so long overdue to see beautiful comments of love coming from some of the most misunderstood people of the world. May Allah (swt) bless you and your wife and children in all that you do.

if the same poverty came to 2 different women in similar circumstances, then who one begged and other didnot. why one begged in the other didnot. same thing went with other million aghans when the russians came at first no afghan women begged, but as soon the afghan regime finished in 92 then every on started to beg. this is total misleading videos.
