ABOUT THE BOOK

In Helmand, a Danish female officer comes into contact with the Afghani women fighting against oppression, domestic violence and the horror regime of the Taleban, and together they initiate a covert collaboration.

The women receive the necessary aid to establish dress making rooms and other projects - and the international military forces are their only chance to get rid off the Taleban.
