Traversing ‘No Woman’s Land’ with Kiana Hayeri and Mélissa Cornet
Photojournalist Kiana Hayeri and researcher Mélissa Cornet provide a powerful look into the condition of women and girls in Afghanistan through their report, 'No Woman’s Land' produced with the support of the Carmignac Photojournalism Award. Over six months, they traveled to seven provinces to document the effects of Taliban rule on women and girls, capturing stories of those denied basic rights, including access to education, work, and public spaces. Through photography, video, and collaborative art with Afghan teenage girls, Kiana and Mélissa reveal both the deep oppression and the resilience of Afghan women. Their discussion will explore the challenges of documenting these realities and the broader impact on women’s rights under oppressive regimes.
