Afghanistan - women in the Cabinet

The Telegraph is reporting "Karzai appoints three women to Afghan cabinet."

Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai has announced a new cabinet that excludes leading warlords and drug traffickers and includes three women for the first time in the Islamic country's history.

Just a few years ago under the Taliban, these women couldn't even work and were treated like property.
