http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/womens-life/11453879/Afghan-men-wear-burqas-to-campaign-for-womens-rights.html A group of Afghan men marched through the capital Kabul in burqas to campaign for women's rights.
The men marched on Thursday dressed head-to-toe in bright blue burqas, clothing that covers with female body and has mesh over the face.
The idea was to draw attention to women's rights by wearing the clothing that has, for many people, come to symbolise the suppression of women.
It took place ahead of International Women's Day on March 8.
"Our authorities will be celebrating International Women's Day in big hotels, but we wanted to take it to the streets," activist Basir, 29, told Reuters.
