Anyone can support the women of Afghanistan by refusing to support the Taliban

I am one of the women who were abused after 15 August 2021.

I have a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of General Pharmacy. I worked a professor at a private school and university, a pharmacist in a state-owned company and I had a handicraft company for women. I also headed a women’s association and was active in the small business sector. However now, I stay at home and I have no presence in the community.

The most important change in my life is that I am now deprived of all the activities that I used to do for myself and my fellow Afghans.

For me, it is important that I and my fellow Afghans work in a progressive and civilized society for our future and have health, social, economic and political security. For now, we are doing whatever is possible at home to deal with the changes that have come into our lives.

I hope that our current unclear future will change and that deep consideration will be given to the role of women because women are known to be vulnerable in all aspects of history and misogyny can be seen in all societies. The beauty of society is only defined by the presence of women.

Anyone can support the women of Afghanistan by refusing to support the Taliban, by supporting Afghan women and encouraging them to survive, and by instilling a better future for Afghan women and girls whose bodies and souls are wounded.

Silence is not enough for us… [The international community] should put an end to this situation and save the women of Afghanistan and the people of Afghanistan from this barbarism, tyranny and extremism. We want a positive change and a just and inclusive government.
