Afghan Refugees In Iran Marked Yalda Celebration
An Afghan refugee woman is checking traditional accessories on her face while participating in the Yalda celebration in an Afghan traditional restaurant in the Shahr-e-Rey neighborhood in southern Tehran, Iran, on December 22, 2023. While the first-ever Yalda Night ceremony under Taliban rule was held in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province in northern Afghanistan, without the presence of women, a group of Afghan refugee women are celebrating Yalda in the Shahr-e-Rey neighborhood in southern Tehran.
