To ensure that women's voices were heard in the drafting of the constitution and in the selection of candidates for the Constitutional Loya Jirga, a diverse group of Afghan women met in Kandahar in September 2003 and issued the Afghan Women's Bill of Rights.3 The Bill presented to President Karzai contains what the women want to see in the constitution and calls for such rights as the right to education, protection and security, freedom ofspeech and the right to vote.
ولكفالة سماع صوت المرأة في صياغة الدستور واختيار المرشحين لمجلس اللويا جيرغا الدستوري، اجتمعت مجموعة متنوعة من النساء الأفغانيات في قندهار في شهر أيلول/سبتمبر 2003 وأصدرت مشروع قانون بشأن حقوق المرأة الأفغانية(3).
