Thank you @egharji. I come from a small town in Jawzjan and most of my cousins & extended family members are the first generation of women who are literate in their families & pursing higher education. One of my cousins is a member of female cycling team of Afg.https://twitter.com/Angoriyan/status/1389966525034074113 …
These generation of young women of my family also work for gov, non-gov organizations, live on their own in Kabul, travel to rural areas for work, study & travel abroad. One of them is pursuing PhD abroad while another worked in Paktia as a nurse & learned Pashtu.
This is just my extended family but there are many more women living lives different than their moms/parents. Their achievements was made possible by the opening post 2001 yes, but also their courage & initiative & families’ support & in some cases despite family’s restrictions.
Closure of public space for women or return of Taliban will risk everything these women have fought for, but they won’t disappear. They are here & they will keep fighting in any way they can. As Afghan women did during the Taliban gov, before & since.
