Posted by Kayla, and my reaction on it
Power and politics made president Karzia completely lost. He even doesn’t remembers his promises he made during his 7 years rule such as –
- article 22 of the Afghan constitution that give men and women equal rights
- CEDAW the international convention on elimination of all kinds of discrimination against women that he signed in 2001
- Declaration of the Essential Rights of Afghan women, signed by president Karzai in 2002 that gives women and men equality, freedom of speech and political participation as well as the right to wear or not wear the burqa or scarf
- MDGS the Minimum Development Goals, President Karzia agreed to pursue 9 major goals of MDGs and the Beijing platform for Action and many more …..
This shows that President Karzia has forgotten about above mentioned contracts he signed, or that all this things doesn’t mean anything to him he is only looking way to stay in power.
He proves how symbolic strategies not only for women, but for all country, the time for him is over and I hope Afghan people especially women got a better understanding of whom to vote.
