George Bush, the former US president, often pointed to improvements in women's lives as a sign of progress in Afghanistan.

But violence against women continues, even as the world marks International Women's Day.

Al Jazeera's Zeina Khodr found one young girl whose cries for justice have gone unanswered.

  • What a great dad, I'm so happy she has him.  A lot of men in that area might not do that for their daughters.

  • @ghamiwala

    Karzai is an America puppet who has nothing to say to his cabinet members and is paid for entertainment. Every preschool child knows that fact.

    The people who run this country into a ruin are the warlords who have destroyed everything and committed the most disgusting crimes of all times from 92 to 96.

    People, however, fall for western media and make Karzai responsible for it. We will gain nothing when we keep talking of a dummy, who is the wrong one. Northern Allicance = enemy!

  • @NYBella1234

    Taliban raped ppl? - - - > Evidence ???

  • @nawidfanmoney

    Again, your remarks are off topic. We talk about 13 year old Samia who was gang raped by warlord groups who are by no means Muslims. You seem to suffer from Islamophobia in an advanced stage. How can you explain when someone would put swarms of women publicly on a stake and turn them? How would you explain when asked if you were a Christian and still no-one would believe you were one, instead having to lie on a streching bank, having pulled off your nails and being raped?

  • @discoKabul Yeah, it's all the warlords. Are your warlords not Muslims as well?

    Forget the Taliban and foreign Arab and Pakistani terrorists burning girls schools, poisoning little girls, throwing acid in womens faces, blowing up themselves and others, etc.

    Whatever.

  • @nawidfanmoney

    The price people had to pay for it was their "freedom" which they never really had or never were left to enjoy. Actually, I can't really remember the Afghans having had much freedoms after 1992. After the fall of our moderate regime led by Dr. Ahmadzai Najibulla, ppl were desperate, insecure, at war, subject to Harazas Nail-in-the-head knocking rituals, breast amputations, acts of infants beheading, gang rapes, human trafficking, a prehistoric state of anarchy.

  • @nawidfanmoney

    You seem not even to have read my criticism on the alarming state of neglect in northern Afghanistan where I don't sugarcoat things as you ascribe it to me. On the contrary, I rather demand to stop these inhumane warlords from bullying and torturing helpless civilians. These very persons were the main cause why people tolerated the rigorous rule of the Taliban when they took over in 1996, at least the chaos stopped, opium banned, fighters disarmed, rapes and sodomy prevented.

  • @nawidfanmoney

    What the f**k kind brain is this you bear in your airhead!

    First of all, watch the video before you puke up your disgusting nonsense mainstream media stuff!

    On this video on-one claims an Arab nor a Taliban to be responsible for the violence. I do not have to deliver any evidence, don't be hasty, take your time and watch the video, listen and reflect over it and finally make a specific and sophisticated judgement. This case is not due to religious orthodoxy but to warlords.

  • @discoKabul You cant make all this shit up while you're living comfortably in a Western Christian nation. You live in Germany, so shut your mouth.

    You're obviously much better off than the Afghans in Afghanistan.

    Maybe consider moving to an Arab country since you love them so much and see how they treat non-Arabs especially Afghans, Pakistanis, etc.

  • @discoKabul Hey, where's your evidence?

    Gosh, you people are sad. And your Taliban were fags & raped little boys.

    It's pathetic to think that Arabs/Muslims do NOT rape. Have you seen the amount of sexual harassment in Arab countries? Look up Egypt's. Women just CANNOT come forward because of HONOR killings and the law are against them.

    And it's pathetic to think it's only some part of Afghanistan where you're NOT from.

    Don't be biased & open up your eyes. Afghanistan is primitive, period!
