The number of women joining the police in Afghanistan is on the rise – thanks in part to the high-profile efforts of Malalai Kakar, the only female detective in the southern city of Kandahar.

Ms Kakar, who is named after Afghanistan’s national heroine, is one of the most high-profile women in the country. Under the Taleban, women – who had many activities and jobs severely restricted – were banned from joining the police.

Ms Kakar joined Kandahar’s police force in 1982, with her father and brothers also being police officers.

But when the hardline Taleban regime took over Afghanistan she was prevented from working – something she recalled with bitterness.

However, after the Taleban regime was ousted three years ago, Ms Kakar went back to the police – and was instantly given the same job as before.
