In Afghanistan's worsening humanitarian crisis, families in several provinces are reportedly selling their young daughters for as little as $3,200 (£2,510) as famine spreads across the country, according to journalist Hollie McKay on Substack.
The practice, documented by aid observers and journalists, shows a deepening survival emergency affecting more than a tenth of the population as hunger, unemployment and aid cuts converge under Taliban rule in 2026.
