RASC: A number of female students who have missed education in the last two years say that they have had to work in the city in order to escape from the frustration and depression caused by staying at home and taking part of the burden of providing for the family’s needs.
A 12-year-old schoolgirl who sells fresh vegetables on a wheelbarrow in, Kabul, says that she was supposed to enter the seventh grade of education in 1401, but the ban on girls’ education and the increase in poverty in the family have pushed her from the classroom to a street worker.
She adds: “I work from morning to night. I have been selling carpentry for a year. I had many dreams; I wanted to give bread to my parents through my pen. I forgot many of my lessons. “I regret that I can’t study and I sell woodwork from morning to night.”
At the same time, the family members of this female student say that now their two daughters are out of school. In addition, what scares them is that their daughters will be born illiterate.
It has been nearly two years that female students above the sixth grade have been prevented from going to school by the Taliban group.
Although during this period, female students and a number of other female citizens have requested the provision of education by the Taliban group in many marches and gatherings; but there is still no news about the reopening of schools for girls.
