Snippet:
Afghan journalist Tahmina Usmani became one of the most visible women working in her country’s media after the Taliban returned to power in August 2021. She continued presenting news as female journalists disappeared from television screens, then appeared on air with her face covered when Taliban authorities imposed a new dress code.
