00:00The recent law in Afghanistan, taking a parallel of this to Iran, something similar happened there, there was a revolution,
00:06women actually participated in large numbers in that revolution. But here in Afghanistan, and that's why you see women there
00:14are more likely to succeed because they are participating, they are leading. In fact, they participated even in 1979. They
00:23are participating even today. In fact, it all started with a particular woman.
00:30Yeah, Mahasamini and then paying the biggest price. Afghanistan has actually seen more swings than Iran. It feels women are
00:39being tossed around. In Iran, women seem to be asserting their agency, their being, their humanness to a greater degree
00:48with a greater felt need of living with dignity. And that's probably the only way it can happen for women
00:56anywhere on the planet.
00:59If they are to realize their potential as free human beings, they will have to come forward. Somebody has to
01:08assert it. Somebody has to live by it. Somebody has to defend it.
01:12Women in Afghanistan can learn from their neighbors in Iran.
