AFP-Afghan women lawmakers hamstrung by warlords: activist‎

WASHINGTON — Afghan women may hold a quarter of the seats in their country's parliament but many are mere mouthpieces for warlords, who continue to set the legislative agenda, an Afghan women's rights activist said.

Many of the women lawmakers in Afghanistan were elected with "the support of warlords" and now have to answer to those warlords, Pakzad said.

"Those women don't have voices, they don't have the right to raise their voices. They have to have their mobile phone and call the warlord who supported them... and ask them whom they should vote for or not vote for," she said. - Afghan women lawmakers hamstrung by warlords: activist‎
