With last week marking a year since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan, football star Nadia Nadim is coming to terms with a "weird feeling."

The anniversary comes weeks after a landmark period for women's football: the European Championships attracted record-breaking crowds in England just weeks ago, potentially inspiring a generation of girls and boys to take up the sport.
Yet in Afghanistan, where Nadim was born and raised until the age of 11, the contrast is stark and women continue to be marginalized.
"In an event like the Euros, you are fighting for equality, seeing these amazing athletes, women athletes performing at the highest level and given respect," explains Nadim, "and then on the other hand, I feel like what's happening in Afghanistan where women are not even allowed to go to school or attend work -- it's so weird and it's so hard to understand."
After a year of governing in Afghanistan, the Taliban has yet to be recognized by a single country in the world, with international funding still largely frozen.
One of the main issues for Western countries has been the new government's attitude towards minorities and women, including a de facto ban on secondary education for girls, while repeated promises from the Taliban to allow girls to return to school have yet to be honored.
