report issued by Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction noted that even though the United States spent more than $787 million dollars on “gender equality projects” in Afghanistan since 2002, “harmful socio-cultural norms” kept them making major progress.
The report did note that some small advances. The number of pregnant women receiving prenatal care rose, that more women are working in healthcare and the literacy rate among women grew. However, the report also noted:
The positive story of gains across these sectors is tempered by the reality that significant barriers—including restrictive sociocultural norms and insecurity— continue to impede progress for Afghan women and girls.
• Girls’ access to education is constrained by the lack of female teachers and infrastructure, and pressures on girls to withdraw from school at puberty.
• A lack of female healthcare providers, restrictive sociocultural practices, lack of education, and prohibitive costs pose barriers to women seeking health care.
• The quality of health care and education remains a problem, and education gains have been largely at the primary school level.
• Gains across sectors have been geographically uneven, with rural women and girls experiencing significantly less improvement overall.

The Uniparty is real.
I think politicians have a penchant for sending money to foreign countries because it’s hard to trace, and ends up in their own pockets. It’s just plain old fashioned embezzlement.
Some of this was build girls’ schools. Not all was SJW nonsense.
Did anyone figure out why all the women folks are required to wear head to toe solar shielding promulgated by Allah?
I suspect they are merely doing what their local imam told them that the Koran commanded them to do. It’s more a religious than a cultural thing. I suspect the Christians in same arer (immersed in the local culture) don’t do this.
I’ve mixed feelings.
If a culture wants to keep some members ill-educated. Uhhhhh, I dunno. I don’t like it and there is ample evidence that suppressing your females hurts the males; and then society at large.
Where I do draw the line is selling girls into marriage and surgery — you know what I’m talking about there.
