Afghan woman artist exiled in France fights for women's rights
The 15th of August marks the one-year anniversary of the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan. FRANCE 24 has been talking to refugees who have fled the country. In episode three of our series of special reports, we meet Kubra Khademi, an Afghan artist exiled in France.
In 2015, at the age of only 26, artist Kubra Khademi created a performance that would change her life. With her body encased in homemade metal armour that exaggerated her breasts and buttocks, she wandered around Kabul: her way of denouncing the power of the patriarchy and the harassment she and millions of women have suffered since childhood.
