Voices of Afghanistan: Afghans Speak about Their Country, Elections, Gender, and Democracy

Report | March 1, 2004 | 76 pages

This report for the Asia Foundation based on 32 qualitative interviews with men and women from throughout Afghanistan, with various education levels, give us some insights into Afghans’ mood and hopes for the country. Although many of the Afghans we interviewed are critical of the country’s transitional government, most support President Karzai and want to accelerate rebuilding efforts, not bring back the Taliban. The Afghans who responded to our survey are also hopeful about the coming of democracy.

“Democracy in Afghanistan” was cited frequently in Afghanistan, and around the world by organizations and the media.
