As countries around the world mark International Women’s Day, we speak to two Afghan women who fled Kabul as soon as the Taliban came to power in August 2021.
Mursal Sayas, a writer and activist, has recently published “Qui entendra nos cris” or “Who will hear our screams”, a collection of accounts which bear witness to the violence and oppression that Afghan women face daily.
We also hear from photographer Fatimah Hossaini, whose portraits defy the victim status Afghan women are so often burdened with. And we discuss the human rights situation in Afghanistan and Europe, with a focus on what has – and hasn’t – changed for women.
