We are doing this war only to raise the flag of Islam.
They oppressed people and we want safety and security.
They dishonored women.
They were stealing from cars.
Our work was free before.
People were commissioning work from me freely before.
But when Taliban came,
we just ripped these pictures.
And I cannot sell it in the market.
So it is a prohibitive way of living for us.
And with these rules we cannot draw and sell our pictures.
Keeping the wife in the house will have effect on economy,
as we know some women have work as a teacher or other jobs.
When the women stay at home,
students are kept away from their lessons and education.
It is also a spiritual shock to society of Afghanistan
and a shock to the people of Afghanistan
and to the next generation of Afghanistan.
They cannot learn their lessons.
And they cannot get educated, which is also a spiritual shock,
and which will have an effect on the society of Afghanistan.
Here, all the chairs are empty
and I am the only person in the school.
And we wish for a person who can save
our safety and security in the country.
I am in the second class of Malaly School.
Now the Taliban have banned our schools,
and we are sad that they have banned our schools,
and we will remain uneducated
if the Taliban does not re-open them.
If our school starts we will be happy
and we will be educated and I will be a teacher in the future.
My husband was weaving at Pul-Charkhi.
When he came to home he was going again to work.
He was killed by rocket fire,
and my son was also killed.
After that I was a housemaid in the ninth floor
of a 14 floor building,
then they dismissed me from the housemaid job.
And now here, we are 7 workers,
and I wash clothes, bake and find my own food,
and there is no one else to feed me.
