Malali Bashir Retweeted Barnett R. Rubin
It’s called د پلو روی وروړل، or پلو ورته غوړول. Which means spreading one’s chador in front of them as a sign of pleading strongly. Men do that too and I’m that case it’s called د لمنې روی وروړل. Meaning spreading the hem of one’s skirt.https://twitter.com/BRRubin/status/1122103131926671362 …

Query: I recall reading about an Afghan or Pashtun tradition: groups of women acting as mediators in conflict — cooking a meal and inviting both sides, demanding they stop fighting, and even trying to shame the men by throwing their chadori at them. Can anyone provide references?
