Afghan women fight for education

Available for over a year

Since the Taliban retook power in Afghanistan in August 2021 women's education has been dramatically curtailed. Secondary schools closed to women in March, and in December that ban was extended to universities. Aalia Farzan is a journalist for BBC Dari who has been hearing about their experiences of protesting and imprisonment.
