The Hunt for Alia (S16E18)
S16E18
In August 2021, when the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, they promised the public that they had evolved since their earlier rule in the 1990s and pledged to uphold women's rights. However, eight months ago, Alia Azizi, a 45-year-old police officer from Herat, vanished without a trace. Her family remains in the dark about her fate. Yalda Hakim heads to Afghanistan to delve into Alia's case. She engages with female activists and protesters who have been silenced by fear, pressing the Taliban on their lack of action regarding the disappearances of women like Alia.
