Afghan womens rights

http://www.newser.com/story/179036/in-afghanistan-womens-progress-in-freefall.html As I previously stated in my previous article, Afghan women's rights recently has improved and the awareness is at an all time high. Unfortunately, this article describes how the exiting of U.S. troops will hurt the movement of Afghan women's rights. "Violence against women has spiked in the last year, conservative lawmakers want to bring back stoning as punishment for adultery and abolish a minimum marrying age, and hundreds of women and girls are imprisoned for the "crime" of fleeing forced marriages or domestic violence" according to this article.
