March 24th May 6th May 8th October 22nd As news reports continue to show, the reconstruction process in Afghanistan remains incomplete. Although the government of president Karzai has been functioning for some years, there are still enormous challenges facing Afghan society. Poverty and desperation remain the currency for most Afghan people - particularly for women. Despite some significant changes, women still face tremendous obstacles to achieving basic rights. They continue to face discrimination and disadvantage in all aspects of life. Although the unemployment statistics for all Afghans remain dismal, the statistics for women are particularly damaging. In addition, Afghan widows, who continually have to depend on the charity of family members, remain trapped in dependence and poverty.
