Students preparing to leave school at the end of the day.

The burqa, worn by students in this image, is an all-enveloping outer garment worn by many girls in Afghanistan. It is not required, but in the current conditions of conflict and insecurity, girls who might not otherwise wear the burqa do so as a matter of personal safety.
