The Role of Women in Afghanistan

What is the role of women in Afghanistan?

In most countries where Islam is the main religion, I would say that women are often in the role of what women were in the 40s here in America. Which was to be a stay at home mum, and on most part did not have to work since the man was to be the provider for the family. However, because of their religion, many women cover themselves up, sometimes with a burqa, which for many westerners may seem degrading. However I believe that this is not as foreign or different from our culture. In the bible it is said that women are supposed to dress modestly, which is stated in the Koran as well and is said that this “law” is for both men and women.
Research has been made and by asking women wearing burqa, they do not find it degrading.

So the starting point for women and their garments are basically the same, however the western world has become a lot more tolerant and accepting more and more of immodest dressing, and in Muslim countries it has stayed the same with a few exceptions in the bigger cities with a lot of western influences, like Istanbul.
