“Afghan and Iranian women are aware of their rights and they won’t be silent anymore. They fight for their rights, education and freedom.

I was among Afghan girls. We believed and still believe that we only have one life to live not to be alive only. Being in the class room, talking about our favorite authors and authoresses and being active in society gave us the feeling that we were living our lives, but when taliban came we were only alive.

Today Afghan women do not come to street and protest only for education or innocent Hazara students that were killed, they are also fighting for their progress and development in past 20 years which taliban cannot take it from us.

What they do at this moment reminds me of a part of Let me breath, a book from Aziz Ruesh. When Marefat school was under attack and it was destroyed. the next day despite all heart_rending events and threats a considerable number of students came back to school to renovate it and restart the class without fear. At that moment he recalled in his book that he was indeed happy.

Just like Che Guevara says “ They tried to burn us but they didn’t know we were seeds.”

For all Kaj girls, Fare_seekers of Jonbesh_Roshanaee, Moude_students, Saied_Shohada students, Mahsas, Nikas, Hadis and many anonymous heroes and heroines we stand together and FIGHT.
Silence is betrayal, so we want the world to stand by us and speak up”.
