2 million girls back to school. Over 3 million voting women. The Taliban can't be too happy about that. Bummer...

VOA News - Expanding Women's Rights: "In the last few years, women in Afghanistan have won significant freedoms. Under the Taleban, Afghan women were forbidden to attend school, work, or participate in society. But since the overthrow of the Taleban by the U.S.-led coalition, more than two-million Afghan girls have gone back to school. And Afghan women are heading back to the classroom as teachers. Afghan women are also participating in political life; a woman ran for president in the October 2004 election. Eight million Afghans voted in that election, and forty percent of them were women."
