Journalist and Author

Women in Afghanistan are lured into all facets of the drug trade, some are clear victims of the multi-billion dollar business and some are beneficiaries. Who are these women, what are their stories, and how will their lives be affected by the foreign troop withdrawal and the possible return of the Taliban? How can they be involved in the political negotiations that will decide the future of Afghanistan?
