This episode is hosted by Richard Bennett, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Afghanistan and Visiting Professor with the RWI Afghanistan Programme. He is joined by Benafsha Yaqoobi, Director of The RAHYAB Initiative, human rights and disability rights advocate, and former Commissioner of the Afghanistan Independent Human Rights Commission.

The episode shines a light on the realities facing persons with disabilities in Afghanistan today, exploring the human rights challenges, discrimination, exclusion, and barriers they face in accessing education, employment, public life, and essential services. Richard and Benafsha discuss the voices and experiences that are often overlooked, particularly those of women and girls with disabilities, as well as the urgent need to protect the rights of persons with disabilities and ensure that no one is left behind.
