Afghanistan - Afghan policewomen tout gains but live in fear of losing it all.  Roina Durani had dreamt of wearing a uniform since she was a little girl. She might not have known exactly what type of uniform, but before 2001, she was pretty sure it wouldn’t be that of a police officer. Yet 12 years after the fall of the Taliban government, Durani proudly sits in her own office sporting an Afghan National Police uniform. “When the Taliban were in power, we couldn’t even leave the house without a male relative with us. We couldn’t get jobs — girls couldn’t go to school,” said Durani. “The last 12 years we’ve been like birds flying freely. If the Taliban come back in power, we will be back in a cage.”
