The position of women in Afghanistan has always been a challenge, particularly so under the Taliban, of course. It's a society and culture that has a long, long history of women occupying a smaller space and a closed, private space. In the eighties, or more the seventies, there was a brief period when more Afghan women were in universities. They've got the capacity, they've got the willingness, and they've got the desire, but it's really an uphill battle in Afghanistan, trying to help Afghan women have a space where they don't get assassinated for taking public office.
We've made tremendous strides—we, the international community—working with some elements of Afghan women and the Afghan government to get more girls in school and to get more Afghan women MPs. No one ever thought this was going to be easy. It's particularly difficult in a place like Afghanistan.
I don't know what else to say. We've been targeting a lot of our programming to try to make sure, as I said, that we help Afghan women find that space. So there's training of Afghan women police, and training of other police in awareness of women's human rights as well. But this is a very difficult context that the international community went into at the beginning, post-Taliban, in a country like Afghanistan.
We agree, it's hard, and it's going to keep on being hard. It's always been hard, but we've had some successes with the Afghan women.
