Eight years have passed since Laura Bush declared that "because of our recent military gains, women are no longer imprisoned in their homes" in Afghanistan. For eight years, that claim has been a lie.
The truth is that American military escalation will not liberate the women of Afghanistan. Instead, the hardships of war take a disproportionate toll on women and their families. There are 1,000 displaced families in a Kabul refugee camp, and they're suffering for lack of food and blankets. A few weeks ago, you generously gave $6,000 to help and $9,000 more is needed to take care of all 1,000 families. Thats a donation of $15 per family to provide the relief necessary for their survival.
Here's what your money will buy:
* 5 kg (11 lb) ghee = $5.00
* 4 kg (8.8 lb) rice = $3.00
* 50 kg (110 lb) flour = $22.00
* A middle quality blanket = $10.00
* A middle quality tent carpet = $40.00

I apologize my phone malfunction but I am a social worker in the United States we have the same if not worse problems here the religion of these women and their expressions of religion through clothing has absolutely nothing to do with systematic abuse. We actually need to look at our own inheritance and women's rights laws and address the glass ceiling here before we try to boss another country

we dont tell the women how to live in india or the us.why do we have ugly indian/ bush's wife (the wife of the biggest terrorist on the face of the earth) commenting on afghan women rights ? i hate the men who did these things to these women,since they are not men or muslims, but at the same time let afghans decide what goes on in their country.period.

I see what a fine job Youtube is doing with censoring it can censor truths but not pedophiles, you loser need your little pee pee sliced and hung as an accomplishment and as an example for other losers then while you are bleeding women should pour sea salt on the wound while other women are going at it on your lifeless pathetic body with bats right underneath the tree where your pride is hung while you are forced to watch and still keep you alive to do it over and over and over you dumb cunt
