Hanging on in Kabul

The World

The snow is falling in Kabul, Afghanistan, and humanitarian workers are bracing for a difficult winter. Mahbouba Seraj runs a shelter there for women and girls who’ve escaped domestic abuse. She tells The World’s Marco Werman how she’s able to keep the shelters’ doors open, despite pressure from the Taliban.
