Part 1 | The reality for women in Afghanistan under the Taliban

Published
It's been more than four years since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, and according to human rights organisations, the situation for women and girls is only getting progressively worse. They're facing a near-total exclusion from most public employment and education. The UN has warned the country is expected to remain one of the world's largest humanitarian crises for the year ahead. This story was produced in collaboration with SBS Pashto.
