They were students, doctors, journalists, and dreamers and overnight, the law said they couldn't be any of it. In this episode, we turn our attention to the women of Afghanistan who, despite facing some of the most severe legal restrictions on earth, continue to resist, organize, and refuse to be forgotten. We explore the devastating reality of life under Taliban rule, the underground networks keeping girls educated, and the Afghan women in exile who are amplifying these stories on the world stage. Their courage is a reminder that empowerment isn't given sometimes it's protected at enormous personal cost. This one will stay with you.
