A leading campaigner for women's and girls' rights in Afghanistan says the recent cutting off of the internet in the country led many women there to "completely" lose hope for the future. Mursal Sayas says that "every day" the situation for women gets "worse and worse", with more and more restrictions. She says that Afghan women knew it would be this way when the Taliban returned to power just over four years ago. Sayas, who is an Afghan writer, journalist and founder of the association Women Beyond Borders, spoke to us in Perspective.
