Since the Taliban seized power, life has changed for women across Afghanistan. In the city of Kandahar, many women are now in prison. Shaima was imprisoned after fleeing an arranged marriage: 'I wanted to divorce my husband, because he is an old man. My brother forced me to marry him'. Meanwhile, women have been discouraged from leaving home. 'Some husbands don't let their wives go out one meter away from their house', explains Kandahar resident Spojmai.
