How have women's rights in Afghanistan changed?

It's two years since the Taliban took back control of the country.

Rigid dress codes, education bans and job restrictions. Things have changed a lot for women in Afghanistan since the Taliban regained power two years ago.

In this episode we explain who the Taliban are, what they want and if their government kept its promise to uphold women's rights.

Alex Rhodes speaks to Sana Safi from the 大象传媒's Afghan service to understand what life is like there now.

Plus we hear from two women footballers who had to flee the country.
