Description

There is a sense of uncertainty, fear and deep anxiety for Afghan women following the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Many are afraid of a return to a repressive past and reversal of painstaking progress made. Many also feel betrayal about how the country has been treated over the years, and the abrupt departure by the west. Today on “This Matters,” we are joined by two Afghan women on opposite ends of the world as we try to process what is unfolding in Afghanistan and how they feel about it.
