Afghanistan: The women broadcasting under the Taliban
Begum radio is a Afghan station run by women for women and girls that was launched in March this year, and is continuing to operate under Taliban rule.
It's giving women the freedom to interact and get information on the subjects that are important to them. It's also giving girls access to education - with many banned by the Taliban from attending school.
We spoke to one of the women involved with the station, who says they no longer speak about politics, play music, or have any male staff members.
"We used to invite woman leaders from the government or women involved in public service of some sort. But we don't have that any more because there are no women in the government now... Callers used to call to request songs to play for them but we do not have that programme anymore."
