My Struggle to be an Afghan Judge

Outlook

Available for over a year

Najla Ayubi had a successful career as a judge in Afghanistan but had to fight for survival under first the mujahideen and then the Taliban. Panmela Castro uses graffiti art to help Brazilian women who, like her, have been victims of domestic violence. The beaches of California provide the 'canvas' for artist Andres Amador, who rakes giant patterns into the sand only for them to be washed away. Blind couple Claire Johnson and Mark Gaffey got married last weekend, after originally being brought together by the friendship between their guide dogs. Picture: Najla Ayubi
