In collaboration with Amnesty International, this episode focuses on the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe that the global community seems unable or unwilling to address: the plight of the women of Afghanistan. Host Tusher Shetty speaks to Catherine Putz, managing editor at The Diplomat, as well as Dr. Isabelle Lassee, deputy director for research at Amnesty South Asia, to discuss the state of gender apartheid in Afghanistan, the impact of changing U.S. policy in the region, as well as the merits of engagement vs pressure with the Taliban regime.
