Our Afghanistan policy should be based as much on listening to the women of Afghanistan as on listening to foreign policy or military experts. It is they who will suffer most from a Taliban takeover of the country.

How will we get the Afghan men, including the Taliban, to listen to their women?

The Taliban’s violently oppressive attitude toward women isn’t something we can change, but we should be led by a president whose concern for the well-being of Afghani women is a major factor in determining our policies there. We should always bear witness to the agony of others.

What a disgraceful position entirely rooted in Islamophobia, misogyny, & war mongering. The US has no rights to be in Afghanistan & didn't go there to liberate women. Or do you think carpet bombing mosques, schools, homes, entire villages is a way to emancipate Afghan women?
