	In Afghanistan, the hard-won progress of women's rights is in danger. President Hamid Karzai recently endorsed an oppressive "code of conduct" that will ban Afghan women from traveling without a male escort or mingling with men in public places.Worst of all, the code states that, "Men are fundamental and women are secondary." Tell President Karzai that women are NOT second-class citizens!» In addition, women can still be physically assaulted by their spouse if it is for a "Shariah-compliant reason." Karzai is apparently willing to sacrifice the rights and independence of half his citizens in order to appease the extremist conservative forces. Stop the disintegration of women's rights in Afghanistan and tell President Karzai to retract his endorsement of this extremist code!»
