Alan Dein follows 19-year-old student Mursalina in Kabul as she studies and strives to promote education and independence for women in her community.

Alan Dein hears how the pandemic year has affected the life of 19-year-old student Mursalina in Kabul, Afghanistan. She has been studying at home online, but has become increasingly aware of the impact of Covid-19 on the city's poorest people who come knocking on her door for food donations. She also fears for the health of her father who works in a hospital.  At the same time, she is keen to keep her young people's group active, promoting education and independence for women in her community.

Producer: Mark Burman and Laurence Grisell
