Almost half of Afghanistan's population are women. These women have always sought self-sufficiency and education, but for the last 20 years, have struggled for autonomy under the deep-seated patriarchy established during Taliban rule. Despite this, they have never given up. Before 2021, Afghan women were visible in prominent positions in the government and the private sector. Since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021, these women have all but disappeared from public life. In this episode, Zahra Shaheer asks, what has happened to the women of Afghanistan?

Being in exile, migrating, seeking asylum and becoming a refugee is a neverending life journey that leads you to experience all emotions on the human spectrum. Surrounded by politics that shames you can make you feel hated, othered, isolated, and unaccepted. But amidst the nasty storms looking down on displaced people, there are always safe spaces. Every day persons who believe in humanity disregard any categorisation; they are the hidden voices that rise to create change and welcome diversity, vulnerability and what refugees have to offer. Khairunissa Dhala, an advocate of human rights, is just one of these hidden voices. Houda meets Khairunissa and her partner, Eddie Thomas, learning their own story and shining a light on just a couple of the people helping to raise platforms and genuine change for asylum seekers in the UK.
