Nearly six months after their country fell back into the hands of the Taliban, and despite the latter's "progressive" promises, Afghan women are increasingly deprived of their freedoms.
Young girls over the age of twelve, for example, no longer have the right to return to school.
A revolting measure for this teacher who continues, in all secrecy, to give lessons to "illiterate women in the morning and girls of level seven [and more] in the afternoon".
His classes are very popular despite the danger: “Some time ago, a person from the neighborhood reported us to the Taliban.
They were told it was a sewing workshop, says the teacher.
Then, we placed a holy Quran in the classroom.
If they come back, I will say that I teach them the Koran”.
“The lack of schooling for girls is a national handicap”
"Even if the Taliban are against education, I'm not afraid because I'm learning, I'm developing my mind!"
“says a young student.
What comfort his teacher in his resolution to help “women, who represent half of Afghan society, to progress, she says.
Because if girls are not in school, half the country will be handicapped”.
