There is no female judge or prosecutor in the zone. Shakiba initially worked as a volunteer, but the attorney general’s office later appointed her to the position. Now she is the only woman judicial official across the eastern zone. Shakiba could be assigned to probe women-related cases. Nangarhar attorney’s office is not the only organisation that has only one female worker; the court of appeals and other judicial institutions neither have female judges nor women employees.
