Live From Kabul: A Female NGO Leader on Women's Rights in Afghanistan Under Taliban Rule - a podcast by Mark Leon Goldberg

I last spoke with Zuhra Bahman in early September 2021. She happened to be out of Afghanistan on a business trip when the Taliban overran Kabul a few weeks prior. 

Despite the apparent danger and uncertainty, Zuhra Bahman told me that she was eager to get back home and return to work as the Afghanistan country director for the peacebuilding NGO Search for Common. Ground.

Today, she is back in Kabul, which is where I caught up with her for the conversation you are about to here.

And she kicks off explaining why and how she returned home. 

We then have a long conversation about how she navigates her life and work as a proffessional woman in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan, and how her work on peacebuilding issues continues under the new political order in Afghanistan.
