Zoya spoke with Insider about the situation in the capital of Afghanistan and what the future holds for her family and her homeland.My father worked for human rights and women's rights. He was working for local NGOs that were building a school for girls, hospitals, and just general training about women's rights - going around and telling women what their rights were, according to the constitution and international law. And with the Taliban in control, their lives are in danger.
You would rather believe people saying, "this is going to be safe, stay." So a lot of these people did not leave because they were told to stay. Personally, for me, if I was in Kabul, and if I was on my own, I wouldn't fear it as much because it would only affect me. But me posting anything would affect my family and kids, my siblings who are so young and who have not chosen this life. People can't only think about themselves and how this situation is affecting them, but rather the ones they love - their family, their friends also.
Our long-term plan, we are going to think about it at that time. I feel like this is such an emergency time that we don't really think about what's next for the next, as long as we know that there's a school for my siblings to go to. My family can just stay in a place for a year or two, we would be totally fine with that. It's just a matter of we want to leave Kabul, even though it is hard to leave your home.
I was planning to go back to Afghanistan, obviously, after I graduated from college, because I'm one of those people brought up to think that we were going to go build the country, and now they took away my country and I have no other place to go to. The only other place that I am familiar with is the US, so I think I am going to stay and see if I can stay in the US.
