To get an idea of "how much better things are goin' to git in eye-rak", consider how much better they have already gotten in Afghanistan, where this Admin has a longer "track record".

Afghan women still face shocking patterns of rape, domestic violence, forced marriage and the routine denial of justice, with the international community failing to protect them in the two years since the Taliban regime ended, according to Amnesty International.

After talking to women in all parts of the country, Amnesty concludes in a report today that violence is widespread in most regions. There is "impunity on an enormous scale".

...

Amnesty says the German government, which is in charge of Afghan police reform, is not giving recruits adequate instruction on violence against women. It also accuses the international peacekeeping force of going on patrols with Afghan police and helping them arrest women for "honour crimes".
