4 Women in Afghanistan - DCLCP Navy Lt. J.G. Tamora Holland, Paktika Provincial Reconstruction Team medical officer and Female Engagement Team leader from Pittsburgh, PA, greets an Afghan woman at the province’s first women’s shura.
5 Women in Afghanistan - DCLCP in the family, and guests are always seated far from the door. Children sit closer to the door since they are lower on the hierarchal ladder in Afghan society. Tea will be made immediately upon the guest’s arrival as a show of respect and goodwill. Guests also accept tea as a reciprocal sign of respect. The men will leave the room, but the children, especially the younger children, may stick around. While they will be curious about the American women, they will probably be shy. Some may stay in the room, especially the younger ones, and others may leave the room, but still peek out at the American women from time to time. If a child approaches a guest, it is okay for the guest to speak to the child and even to touch the child on the arm or shoulder as a sign of warmth and assurance. Saying goodbye is the same as saying hello with kissing, only you don’t say “Salaam.” You say “Khuda afiz” which means “Good bye.”
