READING I Unrast Verlag

With SUR ESRAFIL

This reading describes the moving fates of Afghan women after the Taliban came to power and the collapse of the NATO-backed government system. It sheds light on the challenges and fear that gripped Afghan society, especially the women who suffered most under the repressive religious rules. Women, including wage laborers, journalists, political activists, were forced to look for ways to escape the threat of violence and oppression.

This book gives women a voice and archives events experienced from an economic, political and social perspective. Personal memories and experiences give a deep insight into the women's struggle against corruption and polarization; showing their courage and determination to seek a free life despite new threats and challenges. It also sheds light on NATO's twenty-year presence in Afghanistan and the resulting long-term effects on society.
