Liza M. knew what it meant for her and her family when the Taliban captured the country as the American and Allied troops hastily retreated in August 2021.

During the years of western presence, her mother emphasized the importance of education for her daughters, as well as her sons. Liza and one sister became doctors; another sister became a lawyer, one brother became an engineer and the 2 youngest were still in college when they had to flee. She had a bright future in Afghanistan until 2021.26 November 2024
