Canada is taking on the Taliban over women’s rights

Canada has joined three other countries in a legal process to hold the Taliban accountable for discriminating against women by enacting increasingly oppressive laws. These range from barring them from education beyond the sixth grade, to a ban on women’s voices being heard in public. 

Globe reporter Janice Dickson talks about what life is like for women in Afghanistan now, how this legal challenge is expected to work and the significance of this attempt to hold the Taliban to account.
