According to Farzana Kochai, Afghan parliamentarian, two possible scenarios are raised, under the Taliban regime: the first in which the Taliban allow them to attend to receive education and have a job, even if they put certain limitations;While the other is that they "eliminate" the women of society completely, avoiding leaving home, among other drastic measures.
“Tenemos una generación que ha crecido con ciertos valores que de pronto no nos pueden arrebatar. Habrá de nuevo la posibilidad de una guerra entre hombres y la sociedad en sí. Si no podemos llegar a un buen acuerdo con los talibanes... si no pueden darnos a la gente de Afganistán algo de libertad, entonces habrá resistencia”, puntualizó.
In addition, Afghanas who are human rights defenders have denounced that the Taliban have begun to look for them house by house, in order to threaten them and avoid a movement against them.

“Las activistas estamos atrapadas aquí, nos escondemos en casas de amigos o familiares y no podemos salir (a la calle) por el riesgo que corremos”, dijo Humira Saqib, una de las activistas más conocidas en dicho país.
They seek to keep their rights
In Kabul, capital of Afghanistan there was already a protest of women who seek to defend their rights, since they do not want to accept the impositions of the Taliban, who have always sought to "eliminate them".
“Como mujer, me siento víctima de esta guerra política iniciada por los hombres. Tengo la impresión de que ya no podré reírme en voz alta, escuchar mis canciones favoritas, más ver a mis amigos en nuestro café favorito, usar mi vestido amarillo favorito o el labial rosa. Y ya no podré ir a mi trabajo o conseguir mi graduación para la que estuve estudiando durante años”, refirió una joven a un medio local.
Malala Yousafzai, who survived in 2012 Taliban shots for defending women's education, opposed the actions against Afghas and acknowledged that there is "a humanitarian crisis".
Khalida Popal, founder of the Afghanistan soccer team, commented in national media that they are telling the players to hide and even erase their social networks.
