From Taliban-controlled Kabul, Radio Begum is broadcasting the voices of women, which have been muted across Afghanistan.
The word Begum, originally a noble title in South Asia, but has come to mean a married Muslim woman.
Taking this name, the station was, appropriately, launched on 8th March, International Women's Day 2021.
But even though the Taliban are severely restricting women's ability to work and girls' right to education, the station has continued.
Programming consists of education shows, book readings and call-in counselling, all of which help support women's education.
Hamida Aman is the founder of Radio Begum.
While the Taliban are permitting it to broadcast, Radio Begum's been forced to make changes.
Men and women no longer work alongside each other and instead of pop music being played, it features traditional songs and quieter music.
Yet twice a day, the radio studio transforms into a makeshift classroom.
People arrive to take advantage of the classes, including regular attendee Mursal.
Radio Begum began its mission intending that women should have a forum in which they could be heard.
However, with the vast majority of girls barred from schools, its broadcasts now represent a scarce opportunity to receive an education.
