                              *************
STATEMENT: In signing this, we agree that the current treatment of women
in Afghanistan is completely UNACCEPTABLE and deserves support and
action by the people of the United Nations and that the current situation in
Afghanistan will not be tolerated.  Women's Rights is not a small issue
anywhere and it is UNACCEPTABLE for women in 1999 to be treated as
sub-human and so much as property. Equality and human decency is a RIGHT
not a freedom, whether one lives in Afghanistan or anywhere else.
