For years, international news about Afghanistan has been dominated by stories about how girls were going to school again, women were no longer required to wear a veil, how they were now able to live as equal citizens, independent of their husbands, and how more and more women were entering the world of politics.
Ani la rând, ştirile internaţionale despre Afganistan au fost dominate de povestiri despre cum fetele mergeau din nou la şcoală, cum femeile nu mai erau obligate să poarte voal, cum acestea trăiau acum ca cetăţene cu drepturi egale, independente de soţii lor, şi cum din ce în ce mai multe femei intrau în lumea politicii.
