Broken promises: Afghan women abandoned but defiant a year after US withdrawal

Fatima says the Taliban have been hunting her since the U.S. withdrew from the country a year ago.

Speaking from an undisclosed location in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif, the former translator who worked with a U.S-headquartered relief organization said she is now in hiding, fearful of being found out by the new regime.

“The Taliban came to my father and told him they knew his daughter was working with U.S. ‘spies’. [They] don’t like women working with U.S. projects,” Fatima, whose name has been changed at her request, told The Hill.
