‘STRONG BEYOND THE WORLD’S IMAGINATION’.

This article from the New Internationalist highlights the resilience and resistance of Afghan women and girls in the face of the Taliban's oppressive rule. The Taliban's strict interpretation of sharia law has severely limited women's rights and freedoms, including their ability to go out in public without a male escort, receive an education, and work in most professions. Despite these challenges, many women are still speaking out and protesting for their rights. The article includes excerpts from the stories of several Afghan women, showcasing their determination and hope for a better future. [Extracted from the article]
