The Burqa in Modern Afghanistan

In this Thursday, April 11, 2013 photo, an Afghan woman shops for clothing in the old town of Kabul, Afghanistan. Despite advances in women�s rights, Afghanistan remains a deeply conservative country and most women continue to wear the Burqa. But tradesmen say times are changing in Kabul at least, with demand for burqas declining as young women going to school and taking office jobs refuse to wear the cumbersome garments.
