Afghanistan is reckoned to be one of the worst places on Earth to
be a woman. Forced early marriage, high maternal mortality rates
and little secondary education. Hardtalk talks to Dr Sima Samar,
a medical doctor, educator and Chairperson of Afghanistan’s Human
Rights Commission. Ten years ago she also became her country’s
first ever Minister for Women’s Affairs. She has been a pioneer
for human rights in Afghanistan but does she have the right
strategy to win greater freedoms for Afghan women?
