Amina's Struggles in Taliban-Controlled Afghanistan

Amina, a widow living in Kabul, faces overwhelming challenges while trying to provide for her two young children. Often leaving them locked at home, she navigates the streets seeking work amidst the oppressive environment enforced by Taliban law, which restricts women's freedom. The Taliban has intensified their hostility toward women, as demonstrated by a newly released code that further limits women's rights, such as prohibiting them from speaking aloud in public. This harsh reality pushes many women, including Amina, to consider leaving Afghanistan as their only means of survival, highlighting the dire consequences of Taliban rule on women's autonomy and economic prospects.
