Afghanistan

Despite the setbacks, it looks like some good change is coming to Afghanistan. What prompts this opinion is not the reports of the murders of women in the news today. Instead it is the fact that so many women's groups have joined to protest the violence there. Women would not have been able to even appear alone, under the Taliban, in public. Many actually died at home because they had lost their husbands and as such could not safely go out to find money, food, or help. Hopefully much more change along these lines can come, especially as it regards the rights of women.
