Coming up on forum, 20 years after a U.S.-led war in occupation, the Taliban control Afghanistan once again, leaving the Afghan people to face

an uncertain future, particularly women and girls. We'll talk about what Taliban rule may mean

for women and what role the U.S. should play in their futures, as well as in the lives of
