I can't remember if we have done this before so here goes.
Barbra Walters of 20/20, did a story on gender rolls in Kabul Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict
she noted that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women seemed happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, Why do you now seem happy with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change, the woman looked Ms Walters straight in the eyes and without hesitation said......Landmines
