Women Aid Workers Killed in Afghanistan
According to the BBC, three International Rescue Committee members were targeted and killed by Taliban gunmen. The women were in vehicles marked with the IRC logo. The IRC is pulling all of its aid programs in the country due to the insecurity.
What happened to our "concern for the women" of Afghanistan? If aid workers aren't safe there, there's no way Afghan women are. I hope to hear more about this from our presidential candidates.
