I was born a U.S. citizen while my parents were living in Afghanistan. I was raised there and in Iran for much of my childhood. I saw first hand the ill treatment and subjugation of women in both societies.

I have often wondered about the lack of gender balance over the centuries and have wondered what these countries (and the world) would look like had women been given more prominent roles across society (and especially in religion!)

Equality for women here, there and everywhere would go a long way towards making a more peaceful planet.

See – conservatives and liberals can agree :)
