The voices of Afghan women are being stopped.
Jolie said at the executive meeting of the United Nations Peace Keeping Summit, "Recently, thousands of women in Afghanistan are vigilant to demand the rights of them and their children with the risk of life. They are asserting that their rights on peace negotiations are guaranteed. Nobody thought of them so long, no one said.
