Resistance in Afghanistan
The Taliban crowded women from everyday life – but they couldn’t break everyone
In Afghanistan, women are second class. But some resist the Taliban, often in secret. A photographer and a lawyer felt her.
The Taliban threatened women who work in the media before the official takeover; The 24-year-old Maira also experienced this. As a journalist in Kabul, she reported on topics that affect women. The Taliban felt provoked by a TV report on the problems of reporters, for example. The broadcaster is now closed. “The government gives the media clear guidelines that they have to work,” she says. Nobody dares about women about women
