Photos: Afghan Women Are Protesting For Their Rights

Protesters march in Kabul on Wednesday, a day after the Taliban announced their all-male interim government. At left, a protester carries a sign with a photo showing Banu Negar, a pregnant policewoman who was killed in front of her relatives early this week in Ghor province. Family members accused the Taliban of carrying out the killing.

Risking beatings by the Taliban, Afghan women have taken to the streets to protest against the hard-line regime, its new curbs on their rights — and against Pakistan's influence in their country.
