Stationed in the west of Kabul, second lieutenant Zamira Zahemi, 19, qualified as a police officer last year and is currently studying law.

She has the support of most of her family, including her father. And although she says her experience in the workplace has so far been positive, Zahemi is “absolutely certain [her male colleagues] are talking about us behind our backs, questioning why women are in the police force.”
