''Its about priorities and about gradual steps. ''
Well, I would agree, if the situation for women in these countries was not so horrific. It is beyond crisis level, when most of a countries women are beaten, raped, and/or mutillated on a regular basis.
And, there is also the question about if peace will acutally happen in these countries.
great article. i didn't realize it was still as bad as it is, and i'm not sure i know what the answer is, but part of it is getting rid of karzai. we need to have people there, but not in a fighting capacity.''But the current administration, despite its female secretary of State and its new Office of Global Women's Issues, appears to be ditching the women of Afghanistan like a blind date gone bad. You have to go back 10 months to find any sustained rhetoric from President Barack Obama about the importance of assuring the security of women in Afghanistan. ''
The U.S. Is Abandoning Afghanistan?s Women ? By Valerie M. Hudson and Patricia Leidl | Foreign Policy
I think most would agree that protection needs to be provided for the women of Afghanistan, DRC... So, why is it so difficult to follow through with the good intentions?

Not sure that the Western interventions in Muslim countries are going to improve the statute of women in those countries. If you look at Iraq, the women’s life was better before the invasion than after, their statute deteriorated, particularly since the Shiite clerics took more power in the society.
This is total bull****! It is not the duty of the US to see to it that Afghan women have rights. If the UN wants to take this on (and they have plenty of committees), they can.''But the current administration, despite its female secretary of State and its new Office of Global Women's Issues, appears to be ditching the women of Afghanistan like a blind date gone bad.

Yes especially those women Saddam liberated right into Udai's rape rooms. :roll: Everyones stature under the Baathist regime was ****, everyone's civil liberties have increased dramatically.
It is sure, the women’s life was far from brilliant during Saddam’s period, but I don’t think that it improves after the invasion, like everybody’s life in Iraq. So the intervention of the Western countries in their life has not improved their existence, like in Afghanistan.
Yes, you are right, but the situation remains difficult for the women.
