GRITtv: A Voice from RAWA: Zoya on Afghanistan

Barack Obama announced last night that the US would be sending 30,000 additional troops to Afghanistan. (No word on how many private contractors would be accompanying them.) He did not explicitly use the Afghan women as justification, but many politicians have, claiming that we cannot leave the women to their fate. Zoya is a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee of RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan, and she joined us to talk about what would really be best for the women - and all the people - of Afghanistan. Zoya is a pseudonym and her face is obscured to protect her identity.
