Answer to Question 2
The social position of women varies considerably because, on the one hand, there is an historical legacy of differential treatment of women. In some pastoralist societies, women were treated more equitably, whereas in other more settled farming communities, and urban areas, women were treated less fairly. Also, different interpretations of religion have led to differences in the treatment of women. This holds especially true for Afghanistan, where the Taliban have suppressed and restricted women's freedoms.
