Women and girls in Afghanistan, who were granted freedoms they could not dream of under the previous Taliban regime that was overthrown 20 years ago, are desperate not to lose them now that the Islamist movement is back in power.
Before and after the resounding occupation of Afghanistan, Taliban leaders promised that girls and women could work and be educated, even though they had reservations.
But some women have already been fired from their jobs during the chaos that has accompanied the Taliban’s advance across the country in recent days.
Others fear that Taliban statements are mere words, and the reality may be different.
"Times have changed," said Khadija, who runs a religious school for girls.
"The Taliban is aware that they cannot silence us, and if they shut down the internet the world will know in less than five minutes. They will have to accept who we are and what we are."

Another person who fears for her life and future is the Afghan national footballer, who told in an exciting letter what she has been through in recent days: "When I see the Taliban on the street I feel so scared," wrote the footballer, who for obvious reasons chose not to reveal her name. "I do not really know if I am safe inside my house. I am writing this letter from a basement, because my life is in great danger and so are the lives of my family members. Please help me and save us. My nightmare has become a reality."
"The Taliban do not accept women in general, so how can they accept a woman who plays football?" She continued. "Everyone knows that when the Taliban arrive, they do what they want for women. They kill them, force them to marry and more. Now they go door to door looking for people. In recent days I have not been able to sleep out of fear, I was afraid they would come. Once it was just a nightmare, But now that is the reality. "
"The Taliban goes door to door."

When the Taliban first ruled Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001, their strict interpretation of Sharia, sometimes cruelly enforced, ruled that women should not work or acquire an education, even a thorough one.
Women had to cover their faces and were allowed to leave their homes only accompanied by a relative.
Those who violated the rules were humiliated and sometimes publicly beaten by the Taliban religious police.
Over the past two years, as the withdrawal of foreign forces from Afghanistan has progressed, Taliban leaders in the West have assured that women will enjoy equal rights under Islam, including access to the labor market and education.
An illogical reality.

At the first press conference convened by the Taliban since the takeover of Kabul on Sunday, the organization's spokesman Zbihullah Mujahid said that women would have rights to education, health and employment and that they would be "happy" under Sharia law.
Regarding the continued employment of women in the media, he evaded saying that it depended on the laws to be introduced by the new government in Kabul.
Meanwhile, a presenter of the private channel "Tolo" interviewed a Taliban spokesman live yesterday, and several women demonstrated in the street demanding to protect their rights.
