'My hands were shaking, my body cold': Afghan women and girls 'forgotten' under Taliban rule

Ana Maria Rus

To mark International Women's Day, a human rights defender has anonymously shared her story. Last week I had to attend the funeral of one of our relatives. On the way, near a crossroad, I saw cars stopped at the traffic light. Suddenly, I realised Taliban members were there. They call them Muhtasibeen - I don't know the exact English word. They are from the ministry of promotion of virtue and prevention of vice, the ones wearing white coats like doctors. Image: Afghan women wait for food
