In Afghanistan under Taliban rule, it is now even more important to ensure that women have access to public spaces and adequate housing, creating places that are “accepted culturally in the current environment, but also provide a space where women can meet”.

She spoke to UN News’s Khaled Mohammed who’s at the UN World Urban Forum in Cairo.
