Zarifa Ghafari

Until not long ago, the petite woman was mayor of the Afghan provincial capital Maidan Shar. A remarkable job in a country like Afghanistan, where women's rights have been trampled underfoot since the Taliban took power. She fled to Germany. To protect her family from further punishment. A recent report by the Human Rights Watch organization recently stated: "Fearing the Taliban and the restrictions they impose on women's freedom of movement, they are largely trapped in their homes, watching the work, studies and dreams to which they had devoted their lives disappear, perhaps forever."
