Women not only constitute half of Afghan population but also can play foundational role in formation and development of the society and upcoming generation. They owe equivalent vigor to outstand and undertake the societal undertakings appropriately. Regretfully, they are deemed and treated second class citizen; meant to plague their innate capabilities rendering them dysfunctional. If properly educated and socialized they can be turned into valuable human resource earning enormous riches for poverty stricken country. If shun in constant denial they will degenerate without productive contribution.

The unchecked and socially accepted heavy dose of baseless biases and discrimination socially transmitted to the upcoming generation aggravating the state of affairs of our beloved county widening the rifts. The exploitation and suppression of inferior section of the society is deemed once innate right rendering beyond jurisdiction of the state to question the violators. The excruciated echoing miseries of hapless people intimates the dictum, might is rights, perfectly matches the state of ill-governance and indifference of ruling elites, in this piece of land reversing the state of affairs. Women devalued, socially ill-treated on flawed findings of deep rooted cultural and gender biases, knocked them out of socio-political endeavors. Thus they are highly restricted to effectively contribute in the joint uplift of the country. Even laws providing them minimal socio-economic safeguards are revised in the bid to leave them to endless sufferings, reflects the entrenched degree prejudices.

Reportedly another law suggesting safe evasion to perpetrators of domestic violence awaits endorsement before Karzai relative to which international community and humanitarian organization displayed high concern. The law after ratification from both houses of parliament is expected to be sent to the president for final signature into law within weeks.  If signed, the law will bar judicial authorities from questioning the relatives of a criminal defendant, effectively silencing victims of domestic violence. The widespread domestic violence mostly befalling in the presence of relatives, if a law restricts interrogating relatives the justice will never be served given the victim is denied protection from being threatened to observe silence.

Violence against women is a dramatic problem in Afghanistan that has caused lots of damages to the life of women itself as well as to the society. In Afghanistan violence against women is much widespread and deeply rooted in different parts of the country. Women have no or little voice to be heard and they have always been victims of violence either from their own family or from the society.

The graph of violence in Afghanistan such as domestic violence, honor killing, and sexual violence against women and young girls is escalating uninterrupted. Every alternate day endless tales of butcheries, physical torture, harassment and sexual assaults are surfaced where women render prey to flawed cultural practices, biased if not blind laws and sharia doctrines. Unless the incumbent government takes bold and immediate actions undoing all such developments eroding and restraining the capabilities of women we may not prosper.
