They were part of Afghanistan’s first-ever all-female flight until their lives were turned upside down

In 2021, six women — two pilots and four cabin crew — participated in Afghanistan’s first-ever all-female flight. It was a historic moment. Their photos and videos were shared all over the world. Then, a few months later, their lives were turned upside. The Taliban toppled the Afghan government and took over the country. The World’s Shirin Jaafari reconnects with some of the women involved in that flight to see where life has taken them.
