The appeal of 70 Afghan women in Italy: “The Taliban kill female fetuses. The world cannot stand by and watch”

On one side of the gallery the Taliban, who seized power on 15 August 2021 in Afghanistan, frustrated them mercilessly, on the other the possibility of a new life. While the children slept on the floor in this narrow space, in the neighboring village their peers were forced into prostitution with passing truck drivers.
