Habiba Sarabi is one of three women bidding for the vice-presidency. She is Supporting Zalmay Rassoul. Sarabi does not want the rights of women to fade away when foreign troops leave. She wants to increase female education in Afghanistan. Many girls in Afghanistan aren't properly educated. When Habiba Sarabi decided to get a pharmacy degree her father did not approve. Until she was able to treat him when he was dying of kidney failure. She says,"I used my skill and I was very kind to him so at least I can prove that the daughter can also be very helpful. In our society they think that the daughter cannot help us, it is only sons." This is a bold and dangerous thing to do as a woman. She has received many death threats. But she continues to bid for office.What do you think? Do you think this progress is good or bad? I personally support this when we have rights the country as a whole gets better. After female suffrage in the US many things got better, vaccines were created and education rates went up. That is one of many reasons why I sup[port women trying to get their right in other countries.
