RASC News Agency: It has been almost two years since the gates of schools and universities have been closed to Afghanistani girls, and women workers have been denied the right to work.
This report is a story of two girls who suffered mental illness and severe depression due to the blocking of the gates of educational institutions and the limitation of their education by the Taliban group.
19-year-old Sahina, a girl who cannot stand anymore and now her patience is over. She was a student of the 10th grade of the school and before the Taliban group came to work, she was continuing her lessons with great enthusiasm and passion, when suddenly the sound of fire and war crushed her dreams to the ground and took her to plunder.
In an exclusive interview, she talks about the hidden pains of her existence and says: “My other friends and I were very close to each other, we did our lessons and homework together, and among us, whoever knew more helped the other so that she also knew; “Now that I haven’t seen my classmates for nearly two years, I am very depressed and sad.”
This is only a part of her unspoken pain because gender apartheid has long separated men and women in Afghanistan and patriarchal countries and women have fewer rights than men in such societies and most of the time their opinions are ignored. Because the men of such societies believe that, a woman is deficient in intellect and does not have the right to an opinion.
Continuing her speech, Sahina said: “I wished to continue my studies in the field of medicine the day I finished my studies and make myself a worthy doctor so that I can serve the people and my countrymen, but time and place did not allow me and my friends. And it stood against me and other girls.”
The untold stories of her and other girls who were encouraged to continue their education and wished to one day climb high peaks in Afghanistan, are not very different. In other corners, you can clearly see the wasted dreams of women and girls who are all marginalized and their ideals and plans were destroyed at once; yes, they wanted to be like men in the society one day and take part in the management and regulation of the society along with men.
Sahina continued to say: “Since the day the school gates were closed to us, some of my close friends told me that we may not be able to study anymore and there is no hope for our schools to open.“
According to reports, after girls’ schools across Afghanistan were blocked by the Taliban group, many school students agreed to forced marriages and changed the studying science to early marriage.
At the same time, Masoma, a final year student of the Faculty of Economics in one of the government universities, says: “We were really hopeful for the future and we studied well. I remember that every day we would sit for four to five hours with my friends at one of our houses and study so that we would be ready for tomorrow.” to be “We always meet after the end of the lesson and talk about future plans. Currently, I see my friends less and most of the times when I saw my friends, they were very sad and disappointed.”
With the emergence of the Taliban group, women in Afghanistan were marginalized more than ever and deprived of their human and civil rights.
The story of violence against women has been going on for a long time in Afghanistan and the difference between men and women is the pain of all women in this geography.
It should be mentioned that with the re-establishment of the Taliban group in Afghanistan, women were deprived of their fundamental rights and this group has repeatedly said that they are not ready to open the gates of schools and universities to girls or allow them to work in such a situation.
