being a woman in Afghanistan. has it's own price.

This is the price you pay for being a woman in Afghanistan.
In Afghanistan, a female politician who escaped an assassination attempt in the south of the country says she fully intends to return to work.
Senator Rooh Gul Khirzard, speaking from her hospital bed where she has been recovering from multiple gunshot wounds, told the BBC that women would not be intimidated by Taliban attacks.
Her nine year old daughter died in the ambush and her 11-year-old remains in intensive care.
Karen Allen reports.

Why should she have to go to the west? Why let her oppressors win?
men and women are equal then why the world supports women ?
Let the most capable person lead .... it may be a brother or sister ...
should wait for the conductive circumstances ...
A bit suicidal... i mean.. yes I really feel sorry for her and the innocent daughters... i hope the killers get caught...but then one needs to take into account the environment and realities on the ground.. she should have gone to west.. and continued her activism from there... what she is doing is too dangerous.. and sooner or later it will catch up with her.. so yes she is a hero.. but also unrealistic.
that is the reality in life in afganistan. hope she will recover fast to stand again in her feet.
Such a bunch of cowards really..killing unarmed women and children! My heart goes out to the senator. To lose a child and brother, have another child critically injured, and having suffered such horrifying injuries herself, yet face the world and speak out against her attackers is no small task. She is truly a tough woman and hope and pray she get's the justice she seeks and her perpetrators get what they deserve.. Aameen!
I'm just waiting for someone to blame the US or say she should have stayed at home and covered up. Sad
Amen to that, Nomerci. (:
Brave woman. She can be sure that women the world over are with her in heart and soul.
May she have the success needed to liberate women in Afghanistan.
