01 Sep The Girl Selling Plastic Bags
The humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan is worsening. The rights of millions of women in Afghanistan continue to be violated, stripped and threatened under the guise of “combatting vice and promoting virtue” as the Taliban continues to erase Afghan women from all facets of life as outlined in a 114 page document of new orders and strict measures governing everyday life for Afghan citizens. As women and girls face the brunt of these crises, Al Qaeda, ISIS and other terrorist groups have regained a presence in the country.
