Sign the Petition to Help Protect Women's Shelters in Afghanistan

Earlier this week I wrote about the Afghan Government's plans to seize control of independently-founded and operated women's shelters for women and girls who have fled violence and family abuse. Now you can take action, by signing the petition that has been launched by our friends at Women for Afghan Women.

Please sign and spread the word by posting the petition link to your Facebook page, tweeting it, and asking your friends to sign.

President Karzai could sign the regulation into effect any day now, so loud international outcry is urgently needed. Thank you for signing!
