The Taliban has declared a week off due to political instability. However, they have promised that women can go back to their work and can exercise their rights within the framework of Sharia. You do not believe them because you have seen their regime before. You, therefore, start to advocate for women's rights. 

​

You go to work and make arrangements for women and children so they can have the access to their basic needs. Now that women are in the dire need of women-friendly spaces more than ever, you choose to offer them the support they need. 

​

Many women who now line up in front of the food distribution centers once used to work. However, as days pass by, the situation worsens. Women have been stripped of their rights. Girls are not allowed to go to school after sixth grade. 

​

So you choose to make a change, even if it is a small one. You choose to serve your nation by teaching young girls, so they can grow and become leaders.

​

You chose to stay in the hope of a better future.
