Back to Kabul


 



Bagh-e-Zanana: the womens' park in Kabul. Founded more than 80 years ago, it was
for many years a popular spot for women only. During the more liberal years from the
1960s onwards, the park was less and less visited because less necessary. Under the
Taliban regime it was of course closed because women were banned from public life.
Recently, aid agencies funded its rehabilitation, but many women are still reserved to visit it
