The Resilience of Afghan Women

Afghan women are facing severe repression under Taliban rule, with systemic restrictions stripping them of basic rights. In the wake of the Taliban's return to power in 2021, many women, driven by a powerful desire for education and freedom, have bravely taken to the streets to protest, knowing they risk their lives in doing so. This struggle is exemplified through individual stories, such as that of Zahra, a dentist who leads protests despite being threatened and ultimately arrested. Their efforts highlight the immense courage and determination of women fighting against a regime that seeks to erase their existence from public life.
