Afghanistan Women Shelters


In this April 4, 2017 photo, a victim of violence speaks during an interview with The Associated Press, in front of a poster at the office of Humanitarian Assistance for the Women and Children of Afghanistan, an NGO that has been operating a women’s shelter in Kabul since 2004, in Kabul, Afghanistan. As the country slides back into chaos, with a resurgent Taliban and dwindling international aid, many fear that women’s shelters could be forced to close, leaving those who rely on them at the mercy of an often harshly conservative society.
