Business Daily - Afghanistan: Women disconnected
Download Afghanistan: Women disconnected
Women and girls in Afghanistan have been excluded from much of the working world, as well as from the chance to get an education.
Many are finding ways to bring in an income for their families, but a 48-hour internet shutdown threatened this recently.
We hear the experiences of shopkeepers, tech workers and charity bosses in the country.
