Dear Bloger,
I can never forget that day in Kabul. I was walking down the street when I heard a woman screaming. There was a big crowd gathered, so I pushed to the front to see what was happening. A man was beating a woman with a metal cable - hitting her over and over. Every time she screamed, her child would scream too. She was being beaten as punishment for showing her ankles.
This is what life was like for women under the Taliban in Afghanistan. We were treated like third class citizens - worse than animals. We were banned from going to school, from voting, from almost all employment. Female literacy and life expectancy fell sharply, and violence against women increased.
But like many women, I fought back. We risked our lives educating girls in secret and running shelters for victims of abuse. And we've made a lot of progress: since the Taliban fell in 2001, more girls are going to school, life expectancy has increased, women have reserved seats at the Afghan National Assembly and equal rights have been enshrined in the Afghan Constitution (though they are not effectively enforced).
But right now, this progress is under threat. The Afghan Government is holding peace talks with the Taliban and the US Government - but women are not at the negotiating table. Join us and demand that Afghan women have their rightful seat in the peace process to make sure our rights are not traded away.
We're already seeing signs of what could happen if the Taliban returns to government. In provinces where the Taliban is gaining control, girl's schools are frequently targeted and attacked. According to local media, 70 women leaders have already been killed in 2013. In my own province a female social worker was recently hanged and left tied to a tree.
After years of violence and conflict the Afghan Government is hoping to secure a peaceful future for Afghanistan - but it cannot happen at the cost of women's rights. The Australian Government has been intensely involved in Afghanistan's transition, and has made a long-term commitment to aid and development. This is why your voice is so crucial.
Being a vocal and well-known women's rights leader, I'm no stranger to threats. Our family home has been broken into, and our windows smashed. I am threatened often, but my government does little to help.
If someone wants to kill me it would be very easy. But no one will stop me. I see Afghanistan changing for the better, and I know I can make a difference for women. This is what truly matters to me.
From my heart, I thank you.
