'"We are going to allow women to study and work within our framework. Women are
going to be very active in our society," the Taliban announced in their first
press conference shortly after seizing power on 15 August 2021.

Two years on, these assurances have been firmly demolished by the Taliban
government's actions. The suppression of women's rights under their rule is the
harshest in the world, brought in through a relentless series of religious
decrees from the Taliban leadership, and regional rulings that have been
steadily imposed across Afghanistan.

During each of these moments, the BBC has been on the ground speaking to Afghan
girls and women - documenting grief, fear, hope and resolve as their lives and
world have shrunk.'
