Women in Afghanistan took to the streets Wednesday to protest the new Taliban-like restrictions on Afghani women, specifically in relation to marital sex and and sexual rights of women. I would have been honored to walk the three miles with them through mobs of of men calling them whores and attacking their vehicles. Check out this video of the march from the New York Times (sorry for the weird sizing):

I would walk with you and them, Joy.
Love you lots.
Thanks for the post Joy. It's interesting to women's rights play out in other countries. Unfortunately, as long as the government acts on the basis of sharia I am skeptical as to see how fully women's rights will be given there. Letting women pull down their hijab a little bit is one thing, but I full autonomy is another.
