Zainab Abdullahi, pictured above, had studied economics and was employed by the previous government of Afghanistan. She was killed last night after being shot by the Taliban in the Dasht-e-Barchi neighbourhood in western Kabul. The Taliban said that she was mistakenly shot.
Alia Aziz, above, the director of a women's prison in Herat province, was kidnapped by the Taliban four months ago. She is still missing and her family has no information about her.
U describes this as the situation for women in Afghanistan.
"The Taliban are killing educated women and girls every day but they do not allow the media to announce it."
