tolonews.com

The Afghan Independent Human Rights Commission (AIHRC) said that social justice in Afghanistan needs to be protected and improved.Nearly 36 per cent of Afghans are now living under the poverty line and 40 per cent of Afghans are unemployed.
"We have failed to eradicate poverty and create jobs in the country," Mohammad Musa Mahmodi, executive director of the AIHRC, said.
Some human rights activists believe that corrupt government officials, unemployment, poverty, lack of development, economic problems and insecurity are challenges that need to be overcome to improve social justice in Afghanistan.
