Women's Rights In Afghanistan
Women's rights in Afghanistan have suffered through tremendous turmoil in the last three decades or in the last quarter of the past century. Through different rulers such as the mujahideen and the Taliban in the later part of the century, women have struggled to gain freedoms and reform a society that is primarily male dominant. Even today, violence against women in Afghanistan is high although the situation is improving slowly as the country progresses with the help of the international community.

—Rheta Childe Dorr (18661948)
“Since womans rights have come up a young woman is better able to fight her own battle.”
