CNN —Afghanistan’s Band-e-Amir National Park was known for having employed the country’s first-ever female park rangers.

In Afghanistan, “there is no such thing as women’s freedom anymore,” Mahbouba Seraj, an Afghan women’s rights activist and 2023 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, said earlier this month.
