How is life for Afghans living inside Afghanistan today? How is the population adapting to the economic constraints and the restrictions from the ruling power? Are there visible protests or signs of resistance?
This seminar will give an overview of the complexity and variety of life in Afghanistan today, including coping mechanisms developed over the last three years, as people respond to the continuous and many new restrictions and regulations. The panel participants will share insights and analytical perspectives we seldom have access to through media, by sharing examples from daily life, work, and in-depth studies. The situation in Afghanistan is complex, and so is the response from its population.
If you want to increase your understanding of survival, creativity, adaptation, resilience, resistance and compliance among citizens of rural and urban Afghanistan, please join us.
