In 2001, international forces invaded Afghanistan to topple the Taliban regime. Substantial financial support and 'expertise' has been dedicated to re-build this war-torn country. Despite some improvements, Afghanistan still has world's second highest maternal mortality rate. Afghanistan is a strongly male-dominated society. Many women suffer abuse, most need their husband's permission to leave the house, use health services or contraceptives. Since men are the decision makers at all levels, educating and involving Afghan men is vital for women's access to health services and reducing maternal and child mortality. Deteriorating security has also become a major problem in women's access to health. 'Where are the men?' is a short documentary about how ordinary Afghan men are an asset and could contribute to women's health in Afghanistan.
