During their earlier rule, Taliban barred women from working outside the home or attending school. People are now fearing that the Taliban will roll back the gains by women and ethnic minorities over the years.

Masih, this is heartbreaking and tragic. Is her video available elsewhere so I can share more widely? What must she feel, like young people in UK she has grown up largely without oppression and now we have left her future to the Taliban because the 'situation is too complex'. 🙁

I interviewed her today will post it very soon. This time we cried together but she promised me to stay strong and powerful.
She’s only 23 years old, full of pain and anger. https://t.co/Ksxn4iabYJ

As per the UN refugee agency, nearly 250,000 Afghans have fled their homes since the end of May amid fears the Taliban would reimpose their strict and ruthless interpretation of Islam.
