Zitat des Tages von Rula Ghani:
What I've said from the beginning is that I am going to try to help all the vulnerable populations in Afghanistan - and to a certain extent, that's the majority of Afghanistan.
If you have a harmonious society where people within the family are living in harmony... knowing what their responsibilities and duties are, and knowing how to resolve their issues and their conflicts without violence, then violence against women will be reduced, and women will feel they have a voice.
If I've achieved a higher respect for women and for their role in society, then I would be very happy. That would really be my greatest wish.
The Western media has depicted the Afghan woman as a helpless, weak individual. I have said it before, and I shall repeat it: The Afghan woman is strong. The Afghan woman is resourceful. The Afghan woman is resilient.
They say Afghanistan is the worst country for a girl to be born. Hogwash!
When values disappear, the first people to suffer are women because people start losing their respect for women.
It is my conviction that becoming economically and socially vulnerable puts you at the mercy of people surrounding you. It is as if you no longer exist as a human being and are no longer worthy of respect.
All I want is to let women know that I will be there to support and encourage them when they set out to do something.
