Afghanistan: Help for Women

In Kabul, Farzana Samimi hopes to help Afghan women who need to talk out their problems with someone. She is a psychiatrist and has teamed up with another psychiatrist, Dr. Babrak, in hopes to develop a tv show to discuss problems Afghan women face. For the most part, these women cannot open up to anyone to discuss issues weighing on their minds. The women have little freedom to do as they please, and even if a woman visits a psychiatrist she is not able to have long-term treatment. This is a dangerous undertaking for Ms. Samimi, but she presses on to help her fellow women.
