**This is a report about the efforts made by the Afghan women in order to progress in life. In a country where until recently women did not have the right to speak, study, or even leave their house, it is a matter of pride and happiness that today; they are advancing in professions that are difficult even for the men of that society. These are inspiring events for the Afghan women who are gradually beginning to enjoy equal rights in society. This is an honor for the continuously advancing Afghan nation.
they look mostly tajik/hazara with mongoloid features
i doubt native pashtun would allow their women
So what? Most Afghans are not Pashtuns. (Pashtuns are the single largest ethnic group there, but over half of Afghanistan's population are from other ethnicities).

its the women from pashtuns family who have always had this strict rules.like coming out of the house or speaking to males
elites from kabul or kandhar (tajiks/hazara) have been liberal not all but compare to pashtuns they are not that strict.real progress comes when those pashtuns women join afghan airforce

Well the pashtun women (or farsiwanis) of kabul and other cities were doctors, lecturers and even pilots before the right wing shift in Afghanistan. Though there was no taliban back then, rural afghanistan was as conservative as it is today.
I am sorry I have worked in Herat and Kandahar (and places in between) there is no real difference when it comes to cultural conservative values. You see the trash bag in Herat as much as you see it in Kandahar. The only areas of exception in all of Afghanistan's 34 provinces are Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif.
I think its about time people stopped supporting idiotic stereotypes amongst Afghans.
Just like taliban and their version of salafist utopia? ;) I have heard that pakis aren't very well liked in afghanistan especially with the current northerner govt in power.
these afghan business women have it tough but they are heroes in my eyes. wow so many female run businesses exist in afghanistan, I guess it’s more common in Kabul though…
so proud of them, it makes me feel like why can’t i get that confidence too that these women have

I will quote my Mazari colleague who sent his mom to Pakistan for a bypass "I was shocked how well they treated my mom and my sister. They took very good care of her. I will now go visit Pakistan myself". I have 30 staff in my office, of which 24 lived in Pakistan and speak urdu and 7 of them have married Pakistanis and settled in Pakistan.
This of course is not a Southern Province nor is it Kabul.
Pakistan has done a lot to screw with Afghanistan and yes that is a problem. However a majority do not hate us. The new generation realizes it is person to person relations and the governments are a separate issue. The fact that all Afghans hate Pakistanis is merely propaganda. The international staff are shocked about who well I get along with my Afghan colleagues because they think the same thing. I am treated better than they are.
