Women's eNews coverage of Women in Afghanistan, the Taliban and Women's Voting Rights
(WOMENSENEWS)--Get caught up on women's rights issues in Afghanistan before Afghans head to the polls on August 20 to vote in the country's presidential elections. At Women's eNews we have dedicated coverage focused on the issues affecting women in this turbulent nation.
