Afghan earthquake: Taliban asks for international help

Hundreds of people have been killed by a powerful earthquake in eastern Afghanistan. We bring you voices of those affected by the disaster and updates on the rescue operation. We also look at what kind of help Afghanistan needs from the rest of the world, after the Taliban asked for international help to deal with the situation.

We hear about an 11-year-old rape victim in Brazil who has been banned from having an abortion.

The BBC investigation has found that thousands of Facebook users are openly sharing obscene material of women and girls taken in public without their consent. We hear from women who have been victims of image-based sexual abuse like “upskirting”.
