"Escape and Exile: The Uncertain Future of Afghan Women" As the Taliban continues to tighten its grip on Afghanistan, the lives of Afghan women have become increasingly precarious. In a special report, our magazine delves into the complex and often heartbreaking stories of women who have fled their homeland in search of safety and freedom in Europe. From the streets of Kabul to the refugee camps of Greece, our correspondents have spoken to Afghan women who are fighting to rebuild their lives, preserve their culture, and hold onto their dignity in the face of unimaginable hardship. But as the world struggles to respond to the ongoing crisis, one question remains: what does the future hold for these resilient women, and will they ever be able to return home?


In this week’s magazine, we look at the fortunes of Afghan women today from inside Afghanistan and from Europe.
