Empowering Women in Afghanistan
Empowering women in Afghanistan is crucial as they lack legal protections in various aspects of their lives. The proposal suggests U.S. intervention to establish and safeguard human rights for Afghan women, addressing issues such as gender-based violence, child marriages, education, employment, political participation, and discrimination. Historical context and likely trends highlight the importance of creating a stable Afghanistan. Options include U.S. intervention, with a recommendation to phase out troops and replace them with UN peacekeepers while prioritizing transparency and establishing a coalition-style government.
