Inside Herat's Female Prison
After three decades of war, Afghanistan's women still face a number of challenges. Violence, sexual assault and lack of enforcement of Afghan laws that protect them are faced by many women every day, many of whom are unaware of their own rights. Herat's female prison holds 140 inmates, convicted of crimes ranging from murder to eloping with a lover. Here they speak about their crimes and their life inside jail. Produced by Ruth Owen.
