There is a growing public demand to know the direction of U.S. foreign policy in war-torn Afghanistan. In this edition of the Journal, guest host Lynn Sherr sits down with Rory Stewart, director of the Carr Center for Human Rights Policy at Harvard University, to discuss his vision for a sustainable policy that could benefit both America and Afghanistan. Then, Sherr talks with Kavita Ramdas, of Global Fund for Women, on the potential of looking to women when addressing international issues such as rising militarism, health care, and the economy as well as women’s human rights initiatives around the world. An essay on the empowerment of women over the last quarter-century rounds out the program. Broadcast date: September 25, 2009. (57 minutes)
