A girl’s education is not only a moral imperative but an economic
necessity.
After the Taliban takeover in August 2021, we have lost every dream
and hope of working in our country; from laughing out loud on the
street, to making memories with our sisters and brothers in our own
homeland. I have witnessed every one of us putting our soul into our
studies, working hard with the hope to introduce Afghanistan’s new
generation to the world; the generation of knowledge, the generation
of courage and faith. Unfortunately, our dreams only remained a dream.
And now I cannot even find proper words to express how hard the time
goes by. Yet, everyday another heartbreaking news comes out of
Afghanistan. With all the hardships, many of our students worked hard
to keep par with others in international universities. Every
investment and work done for the development of Afghanistan during the
past 20 years is razed to the ground by The Taliban since their
takeover in August 2021.
