Afghan women protesters, including members of "Women for Peace and Freedom," marked International Women's Day by decrying the "horrific and tragic" situation of women's rights in Afghanistan under the current regime. They called on the UN to recognize gender-based discrimination, noting Afghanistan as the only country systematically stripping women of basic rights, and warned of potential global spread if oppression continues.
