Afghan Refugees In Iran Marked Yalda Celebration
A young Afghan refugee woman, dressed in traditional attire, is singing a song as she participates 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 took place in Mazar-e-Sharif, the capital of Balkh province in northern Afghanistan, without the presence of women, this group of Afghan refugee women is celebrating Yalda in Tehran.
