Storyline	When the U.S. troop surge was announced in late 2009, women in Afghanistan knew that the ground was being laid for peace talks with the Taliban. Peace Unveiled follows three women who immediately began to organize to make sure that womens rights dont get traded away in the deal. One is a savvy parliamentarian who participated in writing the Afghan constitution that guarantees equality for women another, a former midwife who is one of the last womens rights advocates alive in Kandahar and the third, a young activist who lives in a traditional family in Kabul. Convinced that the Taliban will have demands that jeopardize womens hard-earned gains, they maneuver against formidable odds to have their voices heard in a peace jirga and high peace council. We go behind Kabuls closed doors as the womens case is made to U.S. Ambassador Karl Eikenberry, U.S. Ambassador-at-Large for Global Womens Issues Melanne Verveer, General David Petraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who promises the women that peace and justice cant come at the cost of women and womens lives. But will this promise be kept?
