UK High Court judge Mrs Justice McGowan says she personally wouldn鈥檛 be 鈥渂rave enough鈥� to have become a female judge in Afghanistan.

More than 220 female Afghan judges are in hiding in fear of retribution from the Taliban, one month since American forces left the country.

Many women have been left stranded in the country, fearing for their lives as they cross the country in search of safety.

Speaking to 蜜芽传媒 Radio 5 Live鈥檚 Naga Munchetty, Mrs Justice McGowan said people can 鈥渏oke about wanting to burn your textbooks at the end of a course鈥�, but that the Afghan judges have had to destroy the law books and degrees which were 鈥渞eally valuable to them鈥� in order to stay safe within Afghanistan.
