Women’s Persistent and Disciplined Work is Exemplary
Szöveg: MoD Press Office/HUN PRT-12 PAO | 2012. július 22. 9:18The ISAF Regional Command North (RC N) recently organized a “women’s affairs conference” for the fifth time in Mazar-e Sharif, Afghanistan. At the conference it was stated that “women do well as mothers and wives, and their assiduous and self-sacrificing work creates peace and security in their environment”.
The ratio of women to men in the population is over 50% in Afghanistan. In spite of that, women rarely have opportunity to assume roles in public life. The number of brave women ready to act is on the rise, however. They make themselves heard in their homes, and are not afraid to take up even manly jobs or leadership positions as well. Their successes are exemplary. The topics for discussion in the conference included the thorny path to success and a lot of experiences. In addition to the influential Afghan female leaders from the nine provinces in the RC N area of responsibility, among the participants of the conference there were several ISAF servicewomen who work here as female liaison officers. The meeting was characterized by true multiculturalism, as the participating soldiers represented the Afghan, German, American, Dutch, Swedish and Hungarian nations.
The works are going to start in five provinces – Balkh, Sar-e Pul, Samangan, Kunduz and Baghlan, the area of responsibility of the HDF Provincial Reconstruction Team (HUN PRT). The successful tenders include the construction of houses for women, the rebuilding of a conference room, the establishment of a park with places for resting and playground, and pavilions where the ladies can sell their hand-made products undisturbed.
