Afghan girls practice the martial art of Tae Kwon Do at a training facility in Bamyan province, Afghanistan, Feb. 27, 2013. There are currently 26 girls enrolled in the class, six of whom are members of the Afghan National Police. The program is an example of the progressive nature of Bamyan province in which women are gradually being allowed the freedom to be independent members of society. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
