A year after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, a woman who fled to the U.S. from the war-torn country is talking about her new life, in Arizona.

, and since then, the country has spiraled, as many feared, and it is now in a deep humanitarian crisis.

Sultani left her family behind to start the dangerous journey to America. Like hundreds of others, she spent days trying to get into Kabul's airport. "It's like heaven for me," said Sultani. "I have a lot of opportunities as a student, as a girl, as a human. I have a lot of opportunities. I can be myself, I can dress the way I want to, I can go wherever I want, anytime, without a man or a male surrounding me."

The International Rescue Committee responds in times of crisis by helping resettle refugees into the United States. Over six months, they welcomed 775 Afghan refugees to the Phoenix area.
