I was watching the news and saw this Afghan woman, Farida Bayat, who is running for office. She gets death threats every day simply because she is a woman running for one of the nine provincial council seats set aside for women. The news story also mentioned that women in Afghanistan have been jailed for being raped because it is considered committing adultery! So shocking and sad. I hate how women are viewed. I really commend Farida for wanting to change the way women are viewed and being brave enough to take a stand!
