Gov’t and Donors Fail to Protect Women’s Rights [ 2009-12-11 ]
Attention over the past week has focused on United States President Barack Obama’s decision to "surge" troop levels in Afghanistan to 30,000 and begin a drawdown in 18-months, but a new report calls attention to the failure of the Afghanistan government and international donors to protect women’s rights.

The report - released by Human Rights Watch (HRW) on Sunday - calls attention to the George W. Bush administration’s citing of the defence of women’s rights as one of the primary reasons for defeating the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

"Eight years after the fall of the Taliban, and the establishment of the [Hamid] Karzai government, Afghan women continue to be among the worst off in the world. Their situation is dismal in every area, including in health, education, employment, freedom from violence, equality before the law, and political participation," said the report.

HRW warns that women’s rights have been largely overlooked by the Afghan government and international donors who have chosen to focus on the armed conflict against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda.

In March, the poor condition of women’s rights in Afghanistan was brought into the news again by the parliament’s passing of the Shia Personal Status law - which Karzai went on to sign.
