E-MAIL US AND UN OFFICIALS:
SUPPORT THE AFGHAN MINISTRY FOR WOMEN'S AFFAIRS
Despite promises of U.S. and U.N. support, one month into the six-month
term of Afghanistan's interim government, the Women's Ministry, headed
by long time women's rights leader Dr. Sima Samar, has been given
neither an office nor funding to hire staff or to initiate programs.
E-mail President Bush, Secretary of State Colin Powell, and Secretary
General Representative to Afghanistan Brahimi and urge them to support
the Afghan Ministry for Women's Affairs.
