In Afghanistan, the hard-won progress of women’s rights is in danger. President Hamid Karzai recently endorsed an oppressive “code of conduct” that will ban Afghan women from traveling without a male escort or mingling with men in public places.Worst of all, the code states that, “Men are fundamental and women are secondary.” Tell President Karzai that women are NOT second-class citizens!»
In addition, women can still be physically assaulted by their spouse if it is for a “Shariah-compliant reason.”
Karzai is apparently willing to sacrifice the rights and independence of half his citizens in order to appease the extremist conservative forces.
