Unlike other elections, women are actively participating in upcoming Presidential and provincial elections. Husn Bano Ghazanfar, the Minister of Women's Affairs, recently spoke to a gathering in Kabul where she said: “Afghan women's participation in the upcoming elections is imperative, and that it would be the only way to ensure continued progress on women's issues.”
Afghan women have seen dramatic improvements in their rights, quality of life and role in society since the fall of the Taliban regime. At the same time, some work still needs to be done. Women in Afghanistan need to cautiously cast their votes, as long term programs are needed for women to increase their role in economic, social, and political spheres. We hope women participate in the upcoming election, because their votes are decisive and very crucial.
In your opinion, what would be major challenges for women in upcoming elections?
Very Respectfully,
