One Afghan family put daughters in charge of restaurants to send a message to women worldwide

After the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in August 2021, one family who owns several Afghan restaurants in the Washington, D.C. area decided to take action. Owners Omar and Sofia Masroor put their two oldest daughters in charge of two of their restaurants in an effort to defy cultural norms and encourage their daughters. Jan Crawford introduces us to the Masroor family for The Dish.

In Morocco a Muslim country we have women in every field : government aeration health military police…. But you just like to focus on Afghanistan because their women are “oppressed “

Hello from Time to all women! Afghan Bistro👋🌹❤️ Afghan women everywhere in the world are hardworking women, but unfortunately these days they are deprived of everything. Although it leaves two days from International Women's Day, I still congratulate all the women of the world, especially the oppressed women of my country, from the bottom of my heart 🌹❤️💚✌️👏👌

[@RogerLoera]

The daughters are incredibly beautiful! It's a shame in Afghanistan they can't even show their pretty faces in public.

[@ironheard227]

no they can show theire face.

[@nghtwtchmn129]

Imagine what the Taliban would do to these women.

[@gandalf4423]

Nothing, only your media has potrayed them as the devils who opress women. Do you really think a woman isnt allowed to run a restaurant in Afghanistan? Dont be foolish and keep your stupidity to yourself.

[@nghtwtchmn129]

@H. A. Refer to verse 4:34 of the Koran.

[@gandalf4423]

@Ellie5621 Taliban is not any different, they hold the same values they have always held and always will and they will not change because of your whining. The world knows how women are sexualized and objectefied in west I dont think they need your education on how to treat women

[@helmandblue8720]

Nothing at all. This family has nothing to do with Afghanistan. They like to use the name for PR as at the time it was front and centre in the media.

[@1525boy]

They should close their ugly Springfield, VA location and just focus on their other locations.

[@omarsharifi5663]

I love it. Afghan women are the vanguard of change despite the inhumane suppression of taliban and terrorists.

[@vintageradioman]

This video is full of bs because as an Afghan American I can assure you that all women in Afghanistan had power and did what they wanted to do. In fact my mother is one of those brave Afghan American women. The problem is our Zionist US government because they trained these Arab and Pakistani Talibans and brought them to Afghanistan in the late 70’s and 80’s which destroyed the country and women’s rights. So get it right CBS and don’t act like you guy’s actually care about the women of Afghanistan because your government has been bombing them for years and you guys just lied about in the news as always.
