President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani has arrived in Mahmud-i-Raqi, capital of northeastern Kapisa province.

He is expected to discuss security situation, violence against women and development with local government officials and residents.

President Ghani’s visit to Kapisa comes about a week after a similar visit to eastern Nangarhar province where he made several promises in the spheres of security, development and fighting the violence against women.

He also showed strong stance in the fight against corruption for better governance.

Kapisa is one of the few provinces of Afghanistan where violence against women is on the rise.

In August, a young girl was raped in Frarkhshah area of Nijrab District for her brother’s crime.

The rapist who was later arrested by the security agencies said during initial investigation that his sister was raped which provoked him to do the same with the rapist’s sister.
