Kandahar

Women in burqas seen by the road side in Kandahar City, Afghanistan. Despite all the claimed advances for Afghans over the years, women seem to always benefit the least. Most women keep themselves covered up with the repressive burqa for fear of reprisals from men and do not wear the burqa by their own choice as a cultural manner of dressing.
