Life in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. In the streets of Kabul and Mazar-e-Sherif, the poverty that has increased over the last three years is glaringly obvious. Many children and women beg in the streets, unable to work. They are forced to drop out of school in the sixth form, whereas boys can study hard and get an education, for example, at the Kabul National Museum. In Bamyan, a town hidden deep in the mountains, morals are more rebellious. Women wear make-up in secret and work in hospitals.
