For example, the salary difference at the level of assistant professor puts women 4 per cent below their male colleagues; 15 years after receiving their doctorates, women earn from...

It is true that women in the towns still generally cover their face with modesty. On the other hand, fully 2 per cent of Afghan women are now literate.

From the time she can totter around, her little feet are set to the tune...
