In Protest

 
 
From the journal of Kiana Hayeri, Kabul, Afghanistan, August, 2022: “Taliban security forces opened fire of the heads of women who staged a rare protest in Kabul — a violent crackdown coming just two days ahead of the one-year anniversary of the group sweeping to power in Afghanistan. About two dozen women marched down a main street in central Kabul chanting, “bread, work, freedom,” “we want political participation,” and, “no to enslavement.”

While the Taliban authorities have allowed and promoted some rallies against the US, they have declined permission for any women’s rally since they returned to power.”
