Banners declaring “A Brave Man Stands for Women” were raised at the HeForShe (UN campaign for gender equality) launch in… Afghanistan! Afghan men called on their gender to take a stand up for women’s rights.
“A lot of the problems that women face in this country arise from how we men look at society,” proclaimed activist Barry Salaam. “Unless we men change ourselves and the way we view women, we won’t be able to bring fundamental changes.”
