This image was taken on election day in Kabul, October 9, 2004 - the first time women were given the right to vote in a democratic election in Afghanistan.

In rural regions, it was more likely the case that women (most of whom are illiterate) voted for whomever their husbands, fathers and brothers told them to vote for.This image was taken just after four women voted at a high school in Kabul.
