Afghanistan: 30 years of conflict, suicide bombings, civil war. That is what we see on our television screens, hear on the radio, read in the newspapers. Is there any hope?
Since 2004 SAWA-Australia, the Support Association for the Women of Afgha-nistan, has raised funds to enable the women of that war-torn country to make a difference. Supported by donations from hundreds of Australians who place their trust in the strength of Afghanistan's women, the organisation has been able to assist women to work towards the building of a new Afghanistan, a country where every woman is safe and enjoys equal rights.
This booklet was put together by the South Australian branch of SAWA-Australia to document this new Afghanistan. Fighting and terror will still be a daily occurrence, but hidden behind the violent images of our daily news are the beginnings of a new society. It is this new society that this booklet wants to show. Read it and buy it at the SAWA (SA) shop.
