A member of the Zohra orchestra, an ensemble of 35 women, prepares for a rehearsal at Afghanistan's National Institute of Music, in Kabul, Afghanistan April 4, 2016. Playing instruments was banned under Taliban rule in Afghanistan, and even today, many conservative Muslims frown on most forms of music. Living in an orphanage in the capital, Kabul, 19-year-old Negin Ikhpolwak leads an ensemble of 35 women that plays both Western and Afghan musical instruments. In a country notorious internationally for harsh restrictions on women in most areas of life, Negin's story highlights a double challenge.
