Over the past four years, the Taliban have steadily erased women from Afghanistan’s educational and academic landscape. Now they have banned textbooks authored or compiled by women.

‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza
‘We faced hunger before, but never like this’: skeletal children fill hospital wards as starvation grips Gaza

Iran has forcibly deported over 717,000 Afghan refugees and migrants since March 2025, with the total for the year exceeding one million. For them, crossing the border isn't an arrival home—it's the start of a new crisis.
Many arrive in Afghanistan with no money, no food, and no shelter.
