Afghan women forced to quit work, country for kids' sake
Since the Taliban took over control of Afghanistan last year, the future of the country's women has been in peril.

Back in 2019, special correspondent Jane Ferguson met with a female doctor in Kabul, and she recently returned to find that same doctor now faced with a previously unimaginable choice.
