Photo by @lynseyaddario | Recent peace talks with the Taliban have raised hope among many that the war, now in its 18th year, could finally end. But many fear any deal with the Taliban could limit women’s rights. I started photographing in Afghanistan when the country was ruled by the Taliban, in 2000. At that time, schools for girls and women were banned, most women were confined to their homes and banned from working, and the all-encompassing burqa was the only acceptable attire. I’ve witnessed and documented so many changes in Afghanistan over the past two decades: women graduating from Kabul University, the rise of amazing women in parliament, women driving and acting in television series and films, and women training to participate in Afghan security forces. I shot this picture of Afghan women at a shooting range in April 2010, while on assignment for @ナショナルジオグラフィック; they were being trained by Italian Carabinieri outside Kabul. The story, “Veiled Rebellion” came out in 2010 and took roughly two years to shoot because of the lengthy process of finding women who felt comfortable being photographed for a wide-reaching, international magazine. In most cases, I needed to secure permission from the women as well as their male relatives.
