This podcast episode delves into the restrictive policies enforced by the Taliban since their takeover of Afghanistan in 2021. Christina Goldbaum, a New York Times journalist, presents firsthand accounts from Afghan women across the country, showcasing the devastating impact these policies have had on their lives and the erosion of their basic rights and freedoms. Despite the unwavering determination of women like Hamida, who established a secret school for girls amidst the Taliban's ban on female education, the future remains uncertain. While the international community strongly condemns the gender apartheid imposed by the Taliban, the podcast raises concerns about the potential long-term consequences on women's rights in Afghanistan.
