In Afghanistan, one the most unequal and dangerous countries in the world for women, activist Muqadasa Ahmadzai tells us about how she went from hiding her studies from her family, to becoming one of the country's most well-known social activists and a member of the Youth Parliament. Muqadasa tells us about the network of women activists she leads, their involvement in peace-building activities, and their efforts to support their communities in the face of COVID-19.
