Mother’s Day Greetings from Kandahar
Editor’s note: Our new writers in the southern province of Kandahar got together to send their greetings to AWWP for Mother’s Day. Here are excerpts.
The Policewoman of Kandahar
Women for Afghan Women is holding its anniversary gala in New York this week and will award the Malalai Kakar Human Rights Award to women’s rights advocate Mahira Ahmadzai of Afghanistan.
Mother of the Nation

They cannot know
the woman as a human
In the village of life.
