FOCUS FOR THE WEEK: "What Canada's Occupation has brought to the women
of Afghanistan"

With a history of oppression and resistance, the women of Afghanistan are 
now under the endless list of brutal abuses that Canada's occupation has 
implemented. Join us to learn about what the women of Afghanistan face, and 
how they are fighting and struggling for an end to the occupation that is 
their first step to women's liberation.
