Girlhood in Afghanistan | At the madrasa

Since its takeover in August 2021, the Taliban has again turned women in Afghanistan into second-class citizens. Although hunger and malnutrition run rampant, and clinics and doctors are scarce in this already destitute country, it is especially girls who feel that fundamental human rights simply no longer apply to them. They are allowed to attend school until 7th grade, after which they are denied education
