Marzieh Hamidi, a 21-year-old Afghan refugee and taekwondo champion, faces death threats from the Taliban after advocating for women's rights in sports. Now living in Paris under police protection, she highlights the Taliban's ban on women's sports in Afghanistan, while Afghan men's teams continue to compete internationally. Hamidi calls for a boycott of these teams to protest against the Taliban's oppressive policies, which the UN describes as "gender apartheid."
