Closing Women's Shelters in Afghanistan

Afgan Proposal Would Clamp down on Women's Shelters

This NY Times article explains the rigid qualifications that women must make to get into a women's shelter, should this law pass. I think that one concept that the article fails to emphasize is Afghanistan's growth in this area. A decade ago, a women's shelter could not be found in that country, and now women have been given the opportunity to find a safe haven where they could start their own life. Much growth is seen if you look deep in what this article is really saying.
