The Waves: The Afghan Women Left Behind - Gender And U.S. Immigration

On this week’s episode of The Waves, Host Kat Chow turns to
Afghanistan, two years since the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. troops
from the country. She speaks with reporter Tanvi Misra, who
recently published an article with Politico following a family

Tanvi also explains how the U.S. immigration process singles out
women and marginalized genders. Further reading: They Thought Their
