This week on our Inside Geneva podcast, we ask whether the world has forgotten women in Afghanistan. 
Under Taliban rule, they cannot work, go to secondary school, leave the house alone or even visit a public park. 
Human rights defenders say the world is looking away. Some argue that what’s happening in Afghanistan amounts to gender apartheid and want it recognised as a crime under international law.
They also warn that if the repression of women in Afghanistan is not challenged, it could happen in other countries too.

Diversity, equality, inclusion, woke: are these concepts now toxic?
The past two years have seen a pushback against gender equality, and it is having real-world consequences for women and girls. 
Yet in Geneva, the International Gender Champions, led by senior diplomats, are not giving up. 
“I embrace wokeness,” one ambassador tells us. The data shows that equality benefits everyone, socially, economically and politically. So why is it so out of fashion?

It’s been ten months since the ceasefire in Gaza. Almost a million people still live in tents. There are 60 million tonnes of rubble to clear.
The UN estimates reconstruction will cost at least $70 billion. But the work has not started. Key building materials are being denied entry, there is little clean water, but many rats. 
Inside Geneva talks to Jehan Salim and Mohammed al Aklouk, aid workers from the Norwegian Refugee Council, about the huge task and the very limited resources.
