KABUL, December 29 (RIA Novosti) - A bodybuilding club for women has been inaugurated in Afghanistan, news agency Bakhtar said on Saturday.
The Afghan agency said at least 20 women in Ngar in the Parwan province will be able to exercise from now on at the club built by the Women's Association of Ngar.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by some provincial authorities, representatives of human rights organizations and local people.
Women in the Asian country have been denied most legal rights. Under the Taliban rule they were even barred from going to school. Domestic violence and forced marriages remain common throughout the country.
