“The Afghan solution lies in the independent struggles of Afghan women
against the Taliban, Karzai, his war lords and the US military…
Nato occupation only reinforces their power… As long as the
subjugation of women persists our society will not be able to take off

hands never reaching those who need it.” Malalai Joya (Afghan
MP, suspended from parliament for her attacks on the war lords.)
“Emancipation of women is not attainable as long as the occupation
lasts, and Taliban and the National Front Criminals are not sacked.”
Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan (RAWA).
