Paula Lerner: The Women of Kabul

The Washington Post has completed a fantastic multimedia special on women in Kabul. The project features stunning photography by Paula Lerner, a photojournalist who visited Afghanistan three times in the past eighteen months to trace the efforts of five women entrepreneurs. The remarkable women she profiles have received assistance from the Business Council for Peace (BPEACE), a nonprofit that helps women in post-conflict countries. They used the grants and experience they gained to found a children's center, a clothing shop, a textile business, and a fitness center. Inspiring work, innovatively presented.
