Actress Olivia Colman has teamed up with Amnesty International to voice the words of Afghan women in a BBC Radio 4 documentary, which explores the dangers women face while undertaking ordinary jobs in Afghanistan.

The programme features the stories of three women: a gynaecologist, the head teacher of a girls' school, and a women's rights political advocate. Colman said 'The brave women whose words I've voiced risk so much to educate, to care and to shape the future of their country. Women like these are the hope for Afghanistan's future and the UK must not abandon them to the Taliban now'.
