It was another day of history, for the first time Kabul streets have seen women rights posters posted by Afghan men and women...

I felt like my heart was going to melt down when we posted a poster and a shopkeeper who was there watching us posted it, couldn’t read it, and asked other person to read it.

When he learned what the poster said, he started fixing the poster and glued it harder on the wall. Two policemen walked to the other side of the road to read our posters.

Kabul - 24th December 2011 - by Noorjahan Akbar:

Today, about twenty five people, men and women, got together to glue posters about violence against women and education for women on their city’s walls....

We approached a shopkeeper to ask permission to post one of the posters on his wall...

“I am against women. Don’t put this one on my walls. A man is a man. If he is angry, he beats. That is what men do. I am against this,” he said angrily.
