No Woman’s Land photobook is the result of this project, co-published by Raya Editorial, Kiana Hayeri and Mélissa Cornet.
Kiana and Mélissa spoke with more than 100 women and girls barred from going to school and confined to their homes, journalists and activists continuing to fight for their rights, mothers watching history repeat itself for their daughters, and LGBTQI+ individuals whose existence is erased in silence. They documented the Taliban’s systematic dismantling of women’s most fundamental rights: to education, to work, to freedom of movement, to leisure, and even to spaces as ordinary as parks or beauty salons.
The photobook draws on this fieldwork to create an intimate portrait of what women’s daily existence has become in the wake of rights being stripped away. Structured in chapters, it offers exclusive, never-before-seen photographs, enriched with archival images, Polaroid artworks, sketches, and collaborative art made with Afghan teenage girls. It also provides extensive supplemental material including historical context, archival documentation, and information on the situation of women’s rights in Afghanistan, making it both a record of a critical moment in history and a testament to the resilience and courage of those who live through it.
