{"product_id":"9781914613937","title":"The Escape from Kabul : A True Story of Sisterhood and Defiance by Karen Bartlett","description":"A gripping story of rescue, survival and female solidarity.   In the twenty years since 2001, Afghan women obtained legal degrees, became judges and set out to transform their country - tackling corruption, and reducing horrifying levels of violence against women and children. These educated and powerful women led the mission to build a modern democracy. However, when Western forces withdrew in August 2021, the women judges of Afghanistan and their families faced mortal danger.   The Escape from Kabul is the never-before-told story of the escape of nearly 200 women and their families, thanks to a network of professional friends, female judges and lawyers from around the world, who refused to abandon them to the Taliban.   A searing insight into the challenges of safely building a new life overseas and also the captive fate of women in Afghanistan.   `Anyone concerned about the fragility of rights or the isolation of those living under repression should read this book' Martha Minow, author of When Should Law Forgive?\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55897691193717,"sku":"9781914613937","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781914613937.jpg?v=1757002251","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781914613937","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
