Sins of the Father
As NATO slowly withdraws from Afghanistan, many are nervous about the prospect of the Taliban returning to power. Those particularly at risk are women and the female activists fighting for their human rights.
When Amina ran away from her husband, her family tortured and attacked her. She was sentenced to four years in prison for her 'moral crime'. "Every day we face a dangerous risk", says Mary, the head of a women's activist group, "because in most parts of Afghanistan, women don't have their basic rights". Abused and raped women come up against considerable barriers in accessing justice and activists fear any progress from the last decade could be at risk if the Taliban influence continues to spread.
