Athena: Four years have passed… Four years in which every page of the calendar was marked by heavy and bitter days — yet on each page, the footprints of Afghan women’s resistance remained. Four years ago came the day when the doors of schools and universities were 1/5

From one of the Afghan women’s UK mentors: I'm sure you'll agree that the women's sentiments are as strong as ever and their refusal to give up becomes more powerful with each day that the Taliban remain. The sense of hope is ever-present. I take my hat off to these women.
