36: The Choices We Make and the Chances We Get

🎙 This episode is quite different to other episodes on this show. It’s a call to action to remind you not to waste the opportunities you get to make choices for your own life and your own future. Because that’s what Afghan women have faced in the past in the wake of Taliban control. And we’re about to watch history repeat itself from the safety of our living rooms. 🤔

This episode discusses topics like:

🌟 What life was like for women under Taliban control the last time;

🌟 How freedoms are already threatened for Afghan women and girls; and

🌟 Why it’s important to use your power to control your own life.
