It was the second day of a traditional assembly this week when a delegate stood to speak on peace in Afghanistan and a man ordered her to shut up. Behnoh Benod is a male delegate who was there at the time when the man said, "Peace has nothing to do with you. Sit down, you should be in the kitchen cooking!" Many female delegates expressed that they feel neglected, marginalized or patronized.
