Duvet distribution by Afghan Peace Volunteers in Kabul, Afghanistan. Credit: Carolyn Coe. All rights reserved.
Descending from their homes built on the mountainside, the women sit together in Kabul’s Kart-e Sakhi cemetery—not to mourn but to wait for the duvet distribution to begin in the midst of the Afghan winter. When I approach them, each woman extends a hand in greeting. Some have the small stamped pieces of paper they need to receive two duvets, but most of them don’t.
