In this photo taken on July 30, 2022, baker Shapari, 40, poses for a portrait in Kandahar. “During these hard times, it is my job that has made me happy”, Shapari told AFP. “My husband is jobless, and staying at home. I am able to find food for my children”. Since their takeover a year ago, the Taliban have squeezed Afghan women out of public life, imposing suffocating restrictions on where they can work, how they can travel, and what they can wear. There is hardly a woman in the country who has not lost a male relative in successive wars, while many of their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers have also lost their jobs or seen their income shattered as a result of a deepening economic crisis.
