They are not your typical Million Dollar Babies. They are Afghan boxers - women boxers!

The barked instructions and sounds of feet running round on a matted floor are like any team anywhere in the world warming up...

...but this training session is unique. The people running round to warm up before putting on their boxing gloves are women - and this is Afghanistan

The hope is that teaching Afghan women a martial art will improve their self-confidence and self-respect - and help promote a martial art as something "constructive, not destructive."

Boxing is one of the most violent sports in the world. Think about it - two people try to hit each other with their closed hands. Could anyone imagine using boxing to encourage peace? And yet one organization has decided to do just that!
