Waita bit, we will deal with you.’ In another message it has been told to this girl– we will rape you and kill you.
Another student, who was hiding in a part ofKabul, said, ‘I am not even looking out of my window. If the Taliban see me,they will take me away. They can target educated girls. However, the threat tothe girls has increased after American forces returned from Kabul. Thousands ofAfghan girls sought asylum in Western countries but not all have been deportedfrom the country. Now all these are hidden and are very scared. One such girlsaid, ‘We do not know what will happen next. Now we have nothing but hope.”
