Human Rights Watch: The “Ten-Dollar Talib” and Women’s Rights

The “Ten-Dollar Talib” and Women’s Rights


http://www.hrw.org/node/91466">Afghan Women and the Risks of Reintegration and Reconciliation

JULY 13, 2010
This 65-page report addresses the potential challenges to women's rights posed by future government agreements with insurgent forces. The report describes how in areas under Taliban control, women are often subjected to threats, intimidation and violence, girls' education is targeted, and women political leaders and activists are attacked and killed with impunity.
