Sunday marks one year since girls were banned from attending high school in Afghanistan.
A year of lost knowledge and opportunity that they will never get back.
Girls belong in school. The Taliban must let them back in.
Just home after filming for Panorama in Afghanistan. Dreadful to see the destruction of a country. 97% now below the poverty line. Watching hungry people receiving food aid in a sandstorm outside Herat was one of the most shocking experiences of my life. It'll go out on 31 Jan.
