In Afghanistan, members of a secret organization of women risk death to give other women education and hope. Eve Ensler took a harrowing undercover journey to chronicle their fight against the Taliban — one of the most repressive regimes in history.

The Taliban Forbids Women to:

• attend school
• work outside the home
• laugh loudly
• perform or listen to music
• leave home without a male relative
• use cosmetics
• visit male doctors
• go outside without wearing a floor-length veil called a burqa
• wear high-heel shoes
• watch movies, TV and videos

If a woman breaks these laws, she risks being flogged or killed.
