Men watching did not know what to make of it. It is the first time in the country that so many women have matched to register. Many men will be a little worried at this. As the women were wearing burqas their husbands will not know if they were there even if they see them on television.
During the year I spent campaigning against the war on Iraq by networking with various groups and being involved in the organisation of marches little di dI know how I would be putting these useful skills in northern Afghanistan.I am working with my local team to try and empower as many women as possible to exercise their democratic rights and the strength they have. There is a lot under those burqas.
