Women in Kabul are defying the Taliban and returning to work or keeping up with their studies. 'I have no other option,' one woman says.
Even before the militant group marched into Kabul, the English teacher felt intense uncertainty and heartache.In early May, she was at the entrance of the Sayed Al-Shuhada school on the outskirts of the capital and saw an explosion in front of the main gate. As her students rushed past her, trying to escape onto the dusty yard below, a second and then a third bomb detonated, killing at least 85 people -- many of them teenage girls.
On the streets of the Khair Khana neighborhood, in northwest Kabul, the consequences of a recent women's protest remain. At almost every beauty salon, images of women's faces have been defaced. Some were quickly spray painted black, others whitewashed completely. Inside one of the salons, the women are too afraid to give their names. They say that the Taliban drove away the protesters, before telling them to remove the images of women, put on burqas and stay home.
