Caption: Portrait of Afghan womens' rights advocate Rahela Kaveer at her brother's home Thursday, Feb. 23, 2012, in Manchester. Kaveer, who is passionate about the future of her country and strongly believes in empowering Afghan women, sat on the 2002 Loya Jirga and was a candidate for parliament. Earlier this month, a hearing was held regarding her application for political asylum. "I worry about what will happen to my children," said Kaveer, whose four children and husband are still in Afghanistan. " If I stay her I am safe but my children do not have a mother at home. If I go home and I am killed then my children will have no mother at all. It is a tough situation," said Kaveer. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
