Kabul's Qala center houses numerous women with mental health issues, many victims of abuse and societal constraints.
These women, ready for discharge, are trapped by Afghanistan's restrictive laws and deeply rooted patriarchal norms.
The lack of independence and support systems prevents them from leaving, even though they want to recover and rebuild their lives.
Qala's struggles exemplify the broader failure to address women's mental healthcare, reflecting their vulnerable situation in Afghanistan.
