Brussels, Oct 15 (EFE) .- When Zarifa Ghafari took office at the age of 26 as mayor of the city of Maidan Sahar, on the outskirts of Kabul, she was ready to face the many challenges that accompany this position. The taking of the Afghan capital by the Taliban in August forced her to flee to Europe, from where she now denounces that her country has been "abandoned" and "sold to her enemies".In an interview with Efe, Ghafari (1992) says that fleeing her country two months ago was never her first option.

Prague , March 25 (EFE / EPA) .- (Camera: Martin Divisek) Elena Gorolová, a Roma woman who was forcibly sterilized at the age of 21, has been waiting for three decades, like hundreds of other women in their majority gypsy, compensation from the Czech State, since a simple apology is not enough for them.FOOTAGE OF ELENA GOROLOVÁ AND NATASA BOTOSOVA, TWO WOMEN WHO WERE STERILIZED BY FORCE. SOUNDBITES OF ELENA GOROLOVÁ.Translation:"If I received any compensation, it would be a great victory for me. I think not only for myself but also for other women. Because it is a fight for all women. But for me, It will be a victory, but also a pain, because there is no money to replace a child. These funds can replace some health care, some medicines, etc. As I also treat myself, I take antidepressants for a long time, because everything that happens around me has caused me this disease. So, as I said, victory and pain".
Brussels (Belgium), March 8 (EFE), (Camera: Leopoldo Rodríguez).- Despite several initiatives to feminize its public space, Brussels faces difficulties and "resistance" in the path to gender parity, according to a report published by a scientific journal on Monday. The Brussels Studies report confirms the "low visibility" of women in the public space and the difficulties that "those who want to change things" face. FOOTAGE OF BRUSSELS.
Nyeri (Kenya), Feb 23 (EFE/EPA).- (Camera: Daniel Irungu) It is recess and a group of girls make their way from the classroom to the dormitories, where pregnant students grab some respite while others nurse babies. Since January, the Serene Haven school in central Kenya has served as an oasis for teenage mothers of the so-called Covid generation.“Most of the girls we are getting are the ones who got pregnant during the Covid period, even those with small babies were conceived during Covid lockdowns,” Kelvin Ndegwa, who co-founded the school with his wife, Elizabeth Muriuki, tells Efe.
