Women in Afghanistan.

First of all, please take the time to go here and write to your M.P. about Women's RIghts in Afghanistan, which are under threat as the west looks to make peace with the Taliban. We started that war: walking away now in the name of peace, but leaving women to pay the cost would be deeply unprincipled. No peace process should be begun that ignores or elides the dangers they face.

Done. This one is not going to be easy; the Taliban may well promise anything to get the troops gone, since they'll be confident we won't launch a new war afterwards.
