The Afghanistan is a state really strict about women’s rights. It was interdict for women to work, to be educated after eight years old. It was only permitted to study the Quran. Twenty two million people need international assistance and most of them are women and children. It’s deplorable! Don’t you think? It’s to help those people and especially women and girls because before 2000, a woman or a child was nothing. The Canadian army is really present in the life of the women and girls in Afghanistan. In 2011, Canada continue to focus on education and health for these women by supporting some projects which are: Strengthen human rights for women, access to education for girls and literacy for women, make better maternal health, strengthen women’s political implication and raise women’s economic opportunities. For example of what they made for girls and women, in 2001, no one girl was allowed to go to school. Today, approximately 2.2 million girls are enrolled in school. More, Women were treating like nothing, to compare, like a dog, and now for the election of 2010, there was a record number female candidate. So for all these reasons that I mentioned, I think Canadian involvement is a really good investment.
