TV trialles, federal elections, explorations – including what seems completely forgotten that barely two months ago the Taliban took over Kabul and the government of Afghanistan. Since then, many people in the country have lived in fear of violence and death – especially women. “If you look at the Sharia,” says Mehria Lührig, a Hamburg criminal lawyer with Afghan roots, “what that means for women is no longer compatible with women’s rights.” Lührig describes a situation in which girls and women are only allowed to live under the care of men, in which they are forbidden from education and work.
