Precisely what they have done that has changed the lives of Afg women, especially in provinces and rural areas? Just curious!

You may not know these women, so it's easy to criticize them and hold them to account for all of the government's failings, but I know them both personally and I can say they truly care about this nation and want to make it better for their children, families and other Afghans

The report I shared alongside many other reports is up to date reliable sources all indicating towards something else! Women situation in Afg is worst than before, just bec we see few girls roaming around Kabul in cafes & shops doesn’t mean every wmn has that opportunity!

As you said, I don’t know them personally, so it’s nothing personal. It’s just there isn't much of a change in the overall situation of Afg women, be it in regards to political participation or any other spheres of life. What we have witnessed so far was all for the show!

Besides, let's leave the above mentioned aside if we couldn't, and we can't condemn US drone attacks or maybe the future episodes, then there is no point of being part of the @UN and sitting in those comfortable chairs, is it?

And if they and we all want to change anything in Afg or anywhere else, we have to stand and raise our voices against injustice and corruption no matter committed by whom and also we all should stop the culture favouritism, and accept the reality, which is very murky and dim!

Shaira Jan. I understand & share your frustration. The change & progress is insufficient & a lot more needs to happen. When it comes to personal achievements & impact, I am personally not satisfied with what I have done & know I should have done/ should do more.

However, we must also acknowledge the cultural & social transformation of Afg, with women at the forefront despite all challenges/limitations imposed by patriarchal society. There r solid gains in women’s access to health & girls access to education,
