This
picture of Afghan women at a Médecins du Monde facility in Afghanistan
was part of "Afghan Women: Lifting the Veil" ("Lever
le voile sur les femmes afghans"), an exhibition of 27 photographs
that ran at the Maison Française on campus April 11-20. The seven
photographers (many French journalists) who contributed to the exhibit,
which was organized by Médecins du Monde and the European Community
Humanitarian Aid Office, captured daily life among Afghan women,
and portrayed those who are working to expand Afghan women's social
and political opportunities.
