Afghanistan is often depicted as a Middle Eastern country that requires women to wear burqas in public, but the real story here is actually much more complicated than that. Photojournalist Paula Bronstein spent 15 years documenting life in Afghanistan, and tells Seeker Stories how women are finding their voice.

Imagine having a grandmother or great grandmother who had more freedom and was more progressive than you.
I would have felt bad about myself
Asks the blacks who were enslaved
@@calionamezoon9192 and you, the whites, knows who enslaved the blacks. You're more dangerous than this. Stay away.
Enslaved by whom? Other Africans.
nah I cant imagine it
Afghanis are beautiful people . Sad to see this
The only evil in this world is in people who have the same views are you, Stavrostav23
thank you
***** Your "god" created them the way they are, according to your barbaric faith. Why would he judge and punish people HE designed? Ignorance of geopolitical events is typical in a religious moron like you.
+Yang Xiao Long why? Because they have turned against them to worship Allah, and Allah is literally Satan himself. They also hate Jews, Christians, and Israel, like Satan, and the Jews and Christians are God's people and Israel is God's nation. This verse is speaking to the Muslims, they are relatives with Jews, and they will be punished for what they have done:
Obadiah 1:9-10
"The fighting men of Arabia will be terrified, and every soldier in Jordan will be killed. Because you robbed and killed your relatives, the descendants of Jacob, you will be destroyed and dishonored forever"
The Bible also says Syria and Babylon (Iraq) will never have peace and will always be wars there because of what they've done, and... Still no peace!!!
***** oh my god you arent seriously quoting an old book written by uneducated lying morons who claim to know the word of god as a reason to hate people... are you?
BRB, gonna go quote a spiderman comic from 1975 to prove to you that octopuses are evil
the real question is which world power helped bringing the taliban to power?
What is America for 800 Alex?
The Soviets would have taken over the country
i agree
+Hi Jack trust me, its in worst conditions. maybe the soviets shouldve taken control rather than taliban. usa used the taliban and afghan land for its own interest, not for the safety of afghans ofcourse
the soviets fucked it up in the beginning by invading, and the US was helping the Afgans, but then the Afgans turned on the US, the US is not the bad guy in that situation.
Heartbreaking watching this right now in 2021 💔
Well you might be heartbroken now with America's women's abortion rights taken away that also makes me very upset 😡
Praise allah!
@@dandurden1883 Praise to Allah, but Surah Al-Baqara 256 . there should be no compulsion in religion, so who are the Taliban to make it compulsory ?
Afghan women .... you deserve the best.
Mr Zeee
also western women, who are sadly forced to wear miniskirts for the disgusting perversion of western ugly men, and who are used half naked as advertising tools. so sad. that's one reason why female suicide rates are the highest in the west. but the media will try to make it look like as if muslim women have it bad, in order to make the western women feel privileged so that they don't doubt the capitalist system. be strong western women and don't believe you are objects!!
Aika Papa
lol you belive that afghan/Muslim women wear a veil only because they are forced? haha you are a typical brainwashed person. you have to think that way in order to feel privileged. but you will still never be as happy as muslim women iA. may God protect afghans and muslims from the evilness of every envying people.
@@siegfriedia9986 Sex with slaves, chopping off hands, stoning women, those are 7th century practices. We cannot follow them in the 21st century
@@takiyaazrin7562 man you saying the same recycled shit about islam what you said tells man that you never had a serious conversation with a musim
Same for American women who have health problems and they are pregnant but how can they get an abortion when the women's rights to their bodies is taken already which is absolutely not good I never accepted for America to be like afghanistan so God help me if it continues watch I am moving to Europe either Greece or England because at least there is more democracy there 😡😤😡😤
Unbelievable that 70s Afghan women were so progressive!...makes me so sad to see the before after
What the most people dont understand is Afghanistan has ALWAYS been a consevative society. In the 60's and 70's only the capital Kabul and some other big cities were some what less conservative. but the countryside was backward conservative place and majority of people in Afghanistan still live in countryside where people dont have access to proper education and healthcare. Back in 70's people in Afghanistan lived in their own bubble, they didnt know anything about each other. Taliban and Mujahedin are just a byproduct of this backward countryside's ideology mixed with the funding of Pakistan ( Taliban) and USA ( Mujaheddin).
But even before the whole Afghan Jihad episode, Burka was still a very popular traditional dress. The skirts women you are talking about belong to some very posh gated communities of Kabul where average Afghan was not allowed to go, the skirt women represent less than 0.00001% of Afghan population.
Afghan society has been ultra conservative for centuries. Afghanis belong to ultra radical Sunni Wahabist sect of Islam. Burka, voilence and Misogyny is validated by their very basic teachings.
Wake up lol. 70s was unde soviet occupation
No one wanted it. It was only a small part of afghanistan which was heavil westenizrd
But the rest of the afghans/pashtuns didnt and do not want liberalism/femenism/modernsim/progressbism
We are happy how we are
@@omarshinwari7823 Happy how you are now? All I've gotta say is shut the fuck up troll.
@@omarshinwari7823 Sex with slaves, chopping off hands, stoning women, those are 7th century practices. We cannot follow them in the 21st century
That was only Kabul and Mazar
The photos in this video are just amazing! I really hope things do turn around for all the women, keep fighting ladies!
Thanks for talking about something else than these dumb racists idiots in the comments! You can't blame 1.1 billion people for being terrorists and creating ISIS. Nor can you blame 323 million people for something their government did.
💔💔
fighting for the right to get an 8h job as a cashier and making the household as well afterwards?
This is heartbreaking. The more I learn and film Middle East, the more complicated it seems to be
Kult America THE MORE U FIND IT DIFFICULT TO RAPE WOMEN ZER
@@atreeinjanaat lol... Afghanistan has rape ... Even older women are molested by men who doesn't know who's behind th burkha
Afghanistan is in Central Asia not in Middle East

This is one of those comments that makes me wish the thumbs down button still did something.
That was quite incredible, such a detailed telling of a complete story in 5 minutes. Really guys, that was spectacular doco narrative. The photos were of course incredible and definitely a key aspect to it, but you really covered so many bases and still managed to personalise it in such a short space of time, really astounding.

By the way, Mujaheddin and Taliban are not the same group. Mujaheddin were the people who fought against Soviet occupation in 1980-1989 and Taliban came to power in 1996, years after Soviets had already retreated from Afghanistan.
Mr. Potato man United States came later and changed everything then it happened to Iraq, Syria, and Libya.
Shut you shitty mouth up Mr. potato man
Most fight for power...but at the end islam got all the bad names
Soviet Union Army were at about 10years in Afghanistan 1979-1989
EXACTLEY.
Were tribal and conservative people
More of this kind of thing, please. One of the best you've done.
I went Afghanistan this year and it's improved a lot especially in the rich areas, they sometimes even drive now
Welp!…That didn’t last long! Back to the burka! Thanks Biden!🤠
I would wear burqa if Muslim men also wore it! why must the ladies be so conservative while the men can wear anything they want. So many rules for women but no rules for men.
Amil Imane : Would you wear it if men wore it? Why?
Smithpolly I'm not Muslim , if I was Muslim I wouldn't wear it. If men also wore it then I probably would wear it if I was Muslim. I think Muslims should all be conservative not just ladies also men. why women cover men don't cover? Temptation is both ways
Same. Its ridiculous how they have rules just for women but not men.
Lol, don't you all read? Islam has rules both for women and men. Instead of saying something without knowing anything, why don't you all put your energy into research?
@@hurtzburtz991 go be disgusted idiot! You won't ever know anything about us if you continue being a stupid.
Wow you did something ACTUALLY progressive rather than regressive bullshit!
Amazing video, truly.

Welp!…Back to the burka! Thanks Biden!🤠
Sad to see this. I'm a Man from the West and NO Woman should be treated in this way. We are all equal, We are all beautiful especially women, and they shouldn't be covered from head to toe where they look like walking blankets.
40ozofstress women are covered for modesty
Excuse me! You don't get to tell me what I should wear. I want to wear so I wear it. NO ONE is forcing me to wear it.
40ozofstress Thank you very much.♥️
DeeIwhy Jade It's good that you enjoy wearing it...But what about the women who DON'T want to wear that blanket...don't they have a choice? Or do they just have to wear it or else they will get stoned to death...
Thank you 400z0fstress! Very nicely said.
The Children look so stressed. I am so sorry my Fellow Females. Be strong and be safe
I've just started researching more about Afghanistan since I started my internship in an organization that does development cooperation. Such a sad story but I'm glad the women starting to take their power back. I really would like to do something for them.
My sister women's they have they're power only freedom is not power this not a women power to go to disco to have sex with different people please we kindly request you all don't do anything for as NATO is doing they're killing us please we don't need nothing let's us in our own situation please
*Liberals need to stand up for liberal ideas in the Middle east*
like not killing women for being women.
+Redsq Rds lol
Afghanistan is not in the middle east
Nathan Jones *I'm trying man*
Ely Powell they need a lot of things in Afghanistan.
The photographs are so stunning
this is what feminists should put their energy into
Nina Khagi Focus in the Middle East. Oh wait, it's like you don't actually care about women's rights, you just hate men and want special treatment with no responsibilities.
Nina Khagi What's wrong with being white? I'm proud to be white. We have made and done some of the most impressive things in history!
Nina Khagi Islam has done nothing.
Nina Khagi We created the Internet, and youtube, which are what you're using. Why do you think all the Muslims want to come to the white man's land? Because we're the best.
Many do. But it's not easy to undo foreign involvement.
I love that she pronounced "Afghanistan" so well :)
Nothing extreme is good. For instance if you drink "extreme" amount of water you will get sick.
the question is how do you determine what is extreme without a subjectivized starting position especially when it comes to politics?
its great we shine light on subjects like this but fail to do so on ourselves.
Amazing photos
Who are you? You're videos are so well made and informal
Weaboo Jones lol. Everyone knows what happened there. Stop acting like an idiot 😂
Honestly, I have been a person who believes that every religion is beautiful
But as I grew up... I always had this question that why many (not all) the Islam majority countries have such bad condition of..
women?...
This is not to hurt someone...somehow just a thought which i can't get outta my mind
Riddhima Singh Sir you are right every religion is beautiful. Religion teaches us love respect kindness and all the beautiful qualities of life. ISLAM is not a religion it's Terror unleashed on the helpless and innocent ones rape, murder,
Lies deception and every thing that religion forbids. Prophets came and prophets went. Men sent by God for the people to repent and turn from evil to Good. But Idlam only introduced Evil. Like slaughter, terror, deception, rape and all other signs of ugliness. The Religion Of Allah the Only God they say. I'd want nothing to do with it in any way. It ugly it's Bad and in no way true.
sis wathcha seeing it's not true islam
U never live in one of majority of muslims and it shows. This has nothing to do with islam. Again nothing. Islam doesnt relate with this terorism. This is purely misogyny and patriarchy. They hate women for being women and it disgusts me. There's nothing such as burqa in islam.
You're wrong and need to learn more.
Religion is the refuge of the more psychologically immature humans.
Religion divides, controls, and deludes.
Religions are human made systems which come from cults that are only started because a small group of gullible people believe a conman.
Learn more about cults throughout history and how they all get started by the vision claims of narcissistic idiots and the gullible that fall for their lies.
Simply because of culture, that's all
Great video.
10 years later: Life with a burka in Western Europe
No joke, this will most likely happen
A bit quicker than your estimation its in 2020 now corona virus
Chip
Yes it will
As a muslim, i hope not
Nobody can live like that. Nobody can live in a constant state of fear
The saying “Give me liberty or give me death” has meaning.
Great Video
It would have been a good idea, just to show how bad this situation is to everybody, to mention that often when a woman doesnt have her husband to support her the only way to keep food on the table is to allow/make her sons to work. Littke boys from all ages, even 4 years old, have to work to support their families. Usually they have to resort to sexual work, become dancing boys and get all kind of sexual abuse. Thats what happen when women are not allowed to work.
This is heartbreaking.
Quit blaming the West. Islam brought this upon you. #Kenyan
Its easy to remain ignorant from the truth.
@Soren Utpal fuck taliban exterimism shit brokening afghanistan.

this is great :)
Damn. This makes me appreciate what I have.
When a country dont respect amd love its woomen it ll go to hell
Beautiful pictures
This is so hurting. At last the narrator is saying how she saw positive signs in rallies n look what has happened now to Afghanistan so so so heartbreaking. God bless them🙏🙏🙏
It is so hopeless to watch this in August 2021 after the Taliban took over Kabul.
I'm from Afghanistan, and I think the liberals and the religious who shield Islam from criticism should be ashamed of themselves. The same religion that brought these women so much misery, would destroy everything the liberals and Christians stand for.
A true liberal wouldn't defend the burqa. It's the regressive left who "think" they're being progressive be being ignorant about or minimizing islamism
Very powerful video but so so sad.
thank you amecica you made this
another 911 would be great
Wisdom. Is compassion kind ness tolerance. Wisdom is freedom from the chains of hatred .violence and oppression. The greatest warriors are those who are free from hatred
They just need to get educated, both men and women
The Kite Runner depicts this very well.
Pray for our Sisters and their children Now I am on Bended knee and Feel your Despair and Pain Never Give up HOPE
I would like to see.men wear burquas.
Why still taliban culture is going on in Afghanistan ??
This is disgusting, they have destroyed such a beautiful country and still following there restrictions.
I am an afgan, and few years earlier I went to afganistan. Thinking back at those people hurts every time..
i am also photographer, and i sad very very rarely this , but its amazing your photos, your seeing its similar like my :)...perfect 10/10
So, if women are truly suffering here in Afghanistan, why aren't the feminists going over there to fight for Afghan women's rights instead of pissing everyone off with their bullshit here in North America?
Because feminists are weak and idiotic, so they create issues to compensate for what they cannot do
It's never about which women are suffering the most, it's about ending all oppression against women no matter what culture/country and what degree of oppression
no actually they did helped a lot in here
+HydrangeaDragon I agree. but wouldn't it be more logical to provide help where the situation is worst. I'm not saying less severe situations should be neglected but their should be more emphasis on the worst areas
Correct, but oppression of women ended decades ago in the west.
This is so sad. I didn’t realize how recent this kind of Burqa was.
Sunshine Honey this burqa exist since more than 1000 years
Seeker stories is doing everything right, why aren't they as big as vice?
I think the photo @2:45 should win some sort of award!
This was when the US was still grounded in Afghanistan. Things are so so so much worse now 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Try to remember, This is culture, NOT islam
Me Too movement is interestingly quiet about this one
God bless these beautiful💗💖💕
God bless Afghans. Wish it could be a peaceful place again. Love from india
The problem is Islam and sharia law. But no one dares say it much less women.
Love you Afghan women
I watched a few videos on 'honor killings' yesterday and they were absolutely horrifying. At least these women are still alive even though they may still be threatened with death. Apparently running away or fleeing from forced marriage, divorce and disobedience is equal to getting killed by your male relatives for 'honor'. SMH, Islamic law is something else.
ThePltsweet This is the sickest thing I have ever watched
Listen up, that's not Islam.
Hint: Poison your husbands!
Cosmic Goat No, they are forced to wear it.
I liked my Burma
I liked my full Vail it was green. Lost it when I moved. So I made myself a black one.
Guess it hides the bruises if your husband beats you
@@MsLunaWica my Burka keeps me out of the sunlight. My husband is nice. My Burka was a gift from my son.
I’m sorry but when women wear the burqa that covers their entire body (including face) how can you actually be 100% sure who you are talking to?!
Salute for afghan women.
I Love may country Afghanistan 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
This is where third wave feminism needs to be!!!
Stop talking negative about burqa plz.
You should fuck off. Fuck your islam.
I feel sympathy and sorrow for these unfortunate women.
Omg my country is Afghanistan!
Both USA and Russia are responsible for this bad situation in Afghanistan, as they have never colonizied by British.... othewise British would be responsible
These women are so beautiful. Wish they can voice out their desire
Oh god in 2021 is back I'm heartbreaking 🥺 how the people in afghanistan in now 😢
I could nottttt imagine the hell these repressed women go through they say the human brain adapts to even the most extreme situations but they always realize how fucked up their situations are they’re just numb it’s so sad
don't kill me on this
but they look like storm troopers plz don't leave any hate comments
wtf........hahahaha
Mariama Diallo Star wars
Maxutaxu No reason for me to send you hate comments
You said this from a privileged POV, so don't make jokes. Imagine you living in a war zone, hungry and scared for yourself and your families life as well as your relatives, neighbours, friends new country.
@@ibrahimsulejmankosalb9832 No I can't even imagine what trying to live in a war torn place like that.Yes I'm very grateful the wars were not fought here in America. I don't have much money. But I can eat whenever I want and anytime I want. My family and I never ever make fun of anyone in a terrible situation! I have a fairly poor life. How my husband works his ass off. It doesn't matter if he's sick or not.we have a home that we're paying for. We have cell phones.a roof over our heads. Utilities and basically everything we need. And a few things we want. We are so grateful for every little thing we have! I know the world is falling apart all around us and for most people. I thank God every day that I am an American I do care for others.
religion of peace you know
Religion of peace indeed
no body givs a dame shit when USA destroy Afghanistan but people always like to blame religion for anthing
Afghanistan was a progressive country before the 90s when the CIA invented the Taliban to fight the USSR.
Everywhere the Americans step their feet that place become sh*t! you need more examples?
monayam moin not true, JEWS have been (rightly) blamed for every shit america and israel do
not true ,are u kidding with me ,who created mujahidin to fight USSR . and who are mujahidin . mujahidin are same people who created taliban
Does anyone know what camera did she used to take these beautiful pictures?
I had no idea about this--I didn't realize that the Taliban took over in 1996 and that women before then had free lives. Thank you for educating me.
no more hijabs.
Islam: the religion of equality.
That is true. But these people believe in a different version of islam. Which means they believe women were created after men and men are more powerful than women. Only 7% of muslims in the world believe this. Mostly in Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Less than 1% in Turkey, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt, Malaysia, Türkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo, You get the point.
Rio 2016 TURKEY-TÜRKİYE but they're still Muslims. You're talking about 7% from over a billion people professing Islam. So if you do the math, that's a lot of women being oppressed in the name of Allah.
So, I am a Turkish girl. I am 23 and I don't wear hijab or niqab or burqa or anything. I wear modern clothing and I am a Muslim. So coming to you from a Young Muslim Turkish Girl, Islam is just a religion, it depends on what YOU bring to it. For example if you read the Quran, it says "don't pray" and if you stop reading there than you would think that God doesn't want you to pray. But if you turn the page, it continues "if you are stoned/drunk" There are people who misunderstand the Quran and think they are muslims. For example, translations. I am from Turkey and I read the Turkish me'âl of the Quran. And it says in literal translation "if your wife sleeps with someone else, separate your beds. And if she does it again, hit her with a tiny stick." When I read this part, I thought about leaving Islam and I did for about 3 months. Than I moved to America. I met an Arab there. I used to hate Arabs and think they are disgusting but this girl was very nice. Once I asked her about this Âyet from the Quran. She laughed. And then said hit them with a tiny stick is literal translation and is very wrong. She said in Arabic hitting with a tiny stick meant not talking to someone and cutting all contacts with someone. See, Quran is a very deep book and you can't understand it just by reading it. You have to live it too.
Rio 2016 TURKEY-TÜRKİYE I understand what you say and believe me that as a Roman Catholic I also have trouble accepting the Bible as the Holy book. All I'm saying is that as you mentioned, some governments have taken the words of the Quran into literal translations. Creating all this rules where if you don't wear a hijab you get arrested (Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.) that's my point. Whether we like it or not, there are millions of people suffering and being extremely oppressed, sometimes even treated as animals because of religion and a book.
Not at all i live in pakistan and i don't wear a hijab no one arrested me we all live in a peacefull environment
It's 2020 Wise up
Afghanis
Verry good afg
Burqa isn't an obligation in islam, it's mostly cultural
Tell that to the Islamic fundies or the regressive left
Yawn... really? Is stoning women for committing adultery also mostly cultural?
its cultural for Arab women due to the hot weather, and desert. Taliban just forced it to women, in order to control them and dont give them rights to speak, vote or work
I am so tired of hearing people say that the Burqa isn't Islam. If that is the case why do only Islamic women forced to wear them!!!!!!!!!! Burqas are Islamic! Get over it.
indra3331
I don’t wearing burqa...most muslim women in my country don’t wearing burqa...yes burqa is part of culture of middle east women due to their country weather...to hide their face from hot and sand...n their culture...some also said that most Arab guys want their wife to cover their face...that their culture not islam...Alquran never mention about burqa...
U know nothing about my religion...I’m a muslim n i know about islam more then u know...we learn through teacher not through media
My heart is with afgan women ❤ Σεβασμός
And the American women who have their rights to abortion have been taken away which makes me very angry 😤 just like with what's happening in Afghanistan 😡
Afghani people were so more progressive before the Taliban strict theological oppression. These women deserve so much better than the male dominated oppression, these kindred humans need to escape this political mess and strive! All the inhabitants of the world deserved complete freedom to be themselves. I wish there was anything I could do for these lovely people! My heart's goes out to you, wish I could adopt one (wishing all) of you wonderful people to have the opportunity to grow and flourish!
This is how we live in FloridaUSA even now.
I live in Kabul now (from USA) teach in an International school. I'm female so obviously teaching girls-high school. The people are kind and so many men here work so hard to take care of their families. Still, I could be killed for not wearing the scarf (I detest my scarf just because I MUST wear it not to mention all the clothes I must wear even in the hot summer) Most students have been very well conditioned to their religion. They think I will burn in hell forever since I am not Muslim. A few of the students have been out of the country and they just think I am so lucky I get to leave this place. They tell me they resent the freedom of men and they also tell me they wear the scarf because they have to (NOT WANT TOO!!!!) Christians here must hide, they will be killed. I live in a compound-protected. I am ready to leave, the female situation here just depresses me.
I will pray for you
@@Debbie-19497 Thank you Debbie! I am feeling better now, dedicated to my students, some will go overseas for University. Debbie, I pray with you that this country can move forward albeit slowly
indra3331
I will pray for you also. Blessings and love.
@anonymous guy Thankfully though Christians don't kill people anymore who aren't Christian! At least if they do in a free country they will be punished for it. Not here.
@anonymous guy I am living here in Kabul and all my co-workers are Muslim of course and here i get to see the peaceful kind side of Islam. Everyone is so kind to me. At Christmas the female teachers made a dinner for the few foreigners here so we wouldn't feel so alone (so far from our homes) Many of the male teachers talk to us even though we are female. I see men working so hard to take care of their families and there are just so few jobs here. The Afghans are so kind. I do love my female high school students too.
Only wish the best for Afghanistan! Hope Feminism movement gains momentum here.
Why dont u focus on your own india imstead of focusing on us
You never see anyone smiling, that says it all
America bombs they 24/7 and some don’t show their face ofc there’s no smiles
Wish i could help. All i can do is pray!
And we march for Linda Sarsour who believes in this. Good move ladies
See this is what I'm taking abt this isn't Islam it's Afghanistan in Pakistan and other countries doesn't allow to even look at a women
But a lot of cultural practices involving female oppression bleed into Islam sadly
Reminds me of the Netflix movie The Breadwinner
🕊
So women over there have to be ashamed of being alive?
I don’t understand. Now the Muslim women want to wear butqas
but "wHy wOmEn nEed feMiniSm" ?
I feel so much sorrow for these countries and their people. So much death and oppression..:(
