Voices of Afghanistan: Arefa’s story

Voices of Afghanistan: Arefa’s story

Arefa and her sister escaped Afghanistan from Kabul airport before American forces withdrew from the country. Although she and her sister were “physically” safe in the UK, mentally she was “not in a good state” knowing other family members and friends remained in Kabul.

She speaks to 5 Live’s Naga Munchetty about leaving her old life behind, her hopes for studying International Human Rights Law, and why he is still haunted by a desperate call she received from a mother whose 14-year-old daughter had been taken as a wife by Taliban fighters.

This interview was originally broadcast on Naga Munchetty’s 5 Live show and is part of the 'Voices of Afghanistan' mini-series.
