It’s been a year since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, leaving women and girls barred from attending school after grade 6. As part of our special coverage, Afghanistan: A Year Under the Taliban, guest host Michelle Shephard speaks with a 19-year-old student currently studying from a safe house in the country. We also hear from Obaidullah Baheer, a lecturer at the American University in Afghanistan; and former Afghanistan education minister Rangina Hamidi, about what they feel the international community needs to do to help women in Afghanistan.
