20 December 2021 - 34 mins explicitThis episode contains references to suicide and abuse that may be upsetting to some listeners.
A few months ago, we told the story of N, a teenager in Afghanistan whose family was trying to force her to marry a member of the Taliban. Her identity has been concealed for her safety.
N resisted, and her father and brother beat her, leading her to attempt suicide. Then she escaped.
This is what happened after she fled her family’s home.
