In a special edition, we focus on how Afghanistan under the Taliban, has literally become hell on earth for women and girls. Annette Young meets Fawzia Koofi, a women’s rights activist and a former member of the Afghan parliament who has also survived several assassination attempts. The two talk about the need for international efforts to end gender apartheid and the role of international sporting boycotts. Also, our colleagues at FRANCE 2 meet a group of Afghan women exiled in Paris who are producing a TV broadcast for women still living inside Afghanistan, offering a much-needed spark of hope.
