"Afghan man sought in wife’s death" January 31, 2012|By Amir Shah
KABUL - An Afghan woman has been strangled, apparently by her husband, who was upset that she gave birth to a second daughter rather than the son he wanted, police said yesterday.
It was the latest in a series of grisly examples of subjugation of women that have made headlines in Afghanistan in the past few months - including a 15-year-old tortured and forced into prostitution by in-laws and a female rape victim who was imprisoned for adultery.

In the 10 years since the ouster of the Taliban, great strides have been made for women in Afghanistan, with many attending school, working in offices, and even sometimes marching in protests.

And as we all know, waging war on them is the best way to solve these problems.
