Equality
A heart-warming story of the advances of women in
achieving equality throughout the world.....
Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul
several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that
women customarily walked about 10 paces behind their husbands.
She returned to Kabul recently and observed that the men now walked
several paces behind their wives. Ms. Walters approached one of the
Afghani women and said, "This is marvellous. Can you tell the free world
just what enabled women to achieve this reversal of roles?"
"Land mines" said the woman.
