From NYT article, “Loss Piles on Loss for Afghan Women,” photographs by Kiana Hayeri, written by Christina Goldbaum:

When the Taliban returned to power in Afghanistan in August 2021, women were among the most profoundly affected. While the end of fighting offered a welcome respite, particularly for women in rural areas, others’ lives have been severely constricted. Many watched 20 years of gains made under Western occupation unravel as the new government issued edict after edict scrubbing women from public life.
