Where to Watch

In Frontline/World Conflict Zones: Pakistan and Afghanistan, there is a segment titled “Children of the Taliban.” After a teenage boy says, “Women are meant for domestic care, and that’s what they should do. Sharia law says it, so why are women wandering around? The government should forbid women and girls from wandering outside just like the government banned plastic bags. No one uses them anymore. We should do the same with women.” The (female) interviewer just stares at him in stunned silence.
