Afghan teachers fear for their lives

This year has seen the worst fighting in Afghanistan since the U.S.-led war on terror overthrew the Taliban rule five years ago. Around 4,000 people have been killed, around a quarter of them civilians. Threats against teachers, particularly women are forcing many families to keep their children at home.
