What in the World

How have women's rights in Afghanistan changed?


Listen Later

Rigid dress codes, education bans and job restrictions. Things have changed a lot for women in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained power two years ago.

In this episode we explain who the Taliban are, what they want and if their government kept its promise to uphold women's rights.

Alex Rhodes speaks to Sana Safi from the BBC's Afghan service to understand what life is like there now.

Plus we hear from two women footballers who had to flee the country.
