In this photograph taken on March 22, 2017, Afghan resident Fareeza, who is unsure of her age, walks through the home she shares with relatives of the founder of the Zanabad “Widows Hill”, Bibikoh, in Zanabad on the outskirts of Kabul. The first ones settled this stony slope outside Kabul in the 1990s, hoping to escape the stigma targeting women like them. Afghanistan's hill of widows now houses many who lost husbands, but claim independence. The rocky summit 15 kilometres south-east of the capital was gradually swallowed by the city, becoming a distant suburb. But for its residents, it remains “Zanabad”, the city of women.
