Dr. Sima Simar with Susan Bazilli: Women’s Rights and Human Rights in Afghanistan
Susan Bazilli, IWRP Director, in Afghanistan with Dr. Sima Samar, Chairperson of the Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC), during the transition from ISAF to Afghan security forces, July 20, 2011. It has been 5 years now since Sima Samar spoke in Ottawa at the Ad Hoc conference. Her remarks in Constitute! about her grave concern about the uncertain future of human rights and women’s rights in Afghanistan if the international community pulls out resonate even more today.
