In Search of a Champion
Mr. President, I want you to understand Afghan women and our pains. Please listen.
Look to the Universe
The world is more picturesque with you,
you, who were made to shine,
you, who were made to take my hand
I Call to You, Oh Afghan Men!
Let’s create justice in our home
We cannot find justice by throwing stones on suffering women.
The meaning of justice is to be equal.
The Violence Lifted from My Shoulders When I Voted
I stood with the women—old, young, pregnant, and disabled. No one asked how long they would have to wait.
When the Birds Sang of Freedom
With each step I felt stronger. I remembered my husband’s instructions, but as I got closer, I began to think, Why? Why didn’t I have the right to make my own choice?
A Reminder of the Last Afghan Elections
In the second elections I lost two people important to me. They worked as trainers for the Independent Elections Commission.
A Hymn for Freedom
My speech is written
by my pen on white paper.
Hope for the Future
Years ago I walked under the warm, hot sun of summer to face the challenges of a newly divorced woman with a young son.
Reality of Islam
Real Islam says you should have an attitude of justice. But in Afghanistan I see injustice.
