CNN will air an interview of Christiane Amanpour with Meryl Streep and women’s rights in Afghanistan. Amanpour posted a teaser on social media, alongside this tagline. In Afghanistan, it’s “the erasure of an entire gender. And I don’t think it has precedent in history, even in the natural world,” Meryl Streep tells me. But the “Taliban failed to understand that Afghanistan has transformed,” adds former MP and negotiator Fawzia Koofi. “Despite being completely erased from any kind of public and social life, [women] still protest.” My full conversation with Streep, Koofi, and former governor Habiba Sarabi airs later this week”. More than three years since the chaotic U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Taliban continues to tighten restrictions on women and girls. Hollywood legend and activist Meryl Streep joins the show alongside former Afghan MP Fawzia Koofi and Afghanistan’s first female governor, Habiba Sarabi, to talk about the fight for Afghan women’s rights as reported in the new documentary film “The Sharp Edge of Peace. Edit: The interview has aired on September 27 and can be now found in the video archive.
