💔 This is the place, where the Taliban leader resides, hundreds of men gather safely while women beg for their children, denied education, work, and basic rights. A place where women sit on the ground, hoping their voices are heard or a piece of bread reaches their table. Seeing these scenes in the 21st century is a wound that will not easily heal. Justice that pushes women to the margins is neither Islamic nor humane. This is the heartbreaking reality of Afghanistan.
