The Escape From Kabul

Karen Bartlett

In the twenty years since 2001, Afghan women obtained legal degrees, became judges and set out to transform their country - tackling corruption, and reducing horrifying levels of violence against women and children. These educated and powerful women led the mission to build a modern democracy that respected the rule of law and human rights. However, when Western forces withdrew in August 2021, the women judges of Afghanistan faced mortal danger. This is the extraordinary, never-before-told story of their escape, and the shocking fates of those who were unable to flee.
