Five years on from the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan | BBC News

About this video

It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people. Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war. But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren't allowed to go to university. Public parks are also off limits to women - and they can't travel abroad without a male companion.
