To Today’s Man from Today‘s Woman
Today’s women are educated
We’re skilled in technology
We are doctors and we can treat you now!
Fears
How much violence can I tolerate?
What kind of sin is worth such brutality?
I am discouraged about our future
Dear Mr. President
Now we want you to work hard to provide equal rights for us. You are the one who must fight to stop violence against women.

Snapshots from Herat
It is very difficult for a young woman to be a photojournalist in Afghanistan. Every day I face many problems in the city while taking photos.
I Want to Speak
I was tired when I saw discrimination

I wondered then how much pain should I bear,
how much of a victim to be.
I Am Female — in Other Words, Human
Remind me why you imprison me in my home?
Why do you not allow me to travel alone?
