The Afghan government should release the approximately 400 women and girls imprisoned for 'moral crimes', Human Rights Watch said in a new report. These 'crimes' usually involve flight from unlawful forced marriage or domestic violence. The fall of the Taliban  in 2001 promised a new era of women's rights. Significant improvements have occurred, yet the imprisonment of women and girls is just one sign of the difficult present and worrying future faced by Afghan women and girls.
