Farzana Wahidy is a journalist that photographs world events to document cultural content preserving historic evidence. In the gallery presentation, Wahidy revealed that Afghanistan women are treated as second-class citizens. Women were refused to obtain an education, health care, jobs, etc. under the Taliban era. Women are expected to remain at the home and raise children. If women want to go out of their home, they have to be accompanied by a male figure. In Afghanistan, there little to no representation for women; thus, they are deprived to have a voice on political, economic, social, etc. issues. Afghanistan’s laws heavily punish women. For example, if a woman is caught without a burqa, she can be beaten by the local authorities. Ayotte
