Under Kabul's Sky by Freshta Rastegar Rastegar, Abdul hamid mandgar
In Kabul, where the Taliban have barred girls from attending university, Freshta, a young woman deprived of higher education, teaches children under six and uses photography as a means of resistance against oblivion. Through her lens, she captures moments of oppression, hope, and resilience. But in a city where truth is a crime, every photograph carries a risk.
