Arzu TV (based in Balkh, Afghanistan), citing the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission, reported today that in Afghanistan’s northern regions “there has been a 13 per cent decrease in the number of cases of violence against women and a 30 per cent decrease in child abuse cases in 2009″.  The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission is an organisation whose vision is to help transform Afghanistan into a place where human rights are respected, promoted and individual rights are protected.

    Dear Sir,
    Its a matter of honor to have Afghans like you who shows the outsiders the real picture of our lovely Afghanistan, and tells them that not all 30 million Afghans are terrorists. Yes they are Muslims but not enemy of peace, development, progres and success.
    Its a very lovely site, thank you Sir and may all Afghans put their hands together and help our people and motherland
