Ms. Sayas warns that this exclusion extends far beyond schooling, reaching into what she describes as the near erasure of women from public life. The mechanisms of control, she explains, are visible and intimate. They shape Afghan institutions and the dynamics within families and communities, in turn destabilising the very fabric of society.
