Ghazni- Since the Taliban takeover, Afghan women and girls have been deprived of their rights. They have been banned from going to school, working and entering amusement parks, public baths, gyms and sports clubs.

Although Afghan women and girls face many restrictions imposed on them by the Taliban, they still struggle against the Taliban and dream of a bright future. 12-year-old girl namely F.W. writes the resistance of Afghan women and girls in her poems. Born to a farmer's family in a village in the city of Ghazni, she has just entered fourth grade. She is interested in music; however, she cannot improve herself in music due to the restrictions imposed by the Taliban.

When she was younger, she began reading poems that encourage struggle and resistance. According to the rules of the Taliban, she can only go to school for two more years. She hopes for the end of the Taliban rule so that women and girls can regain their rights and play their role in society. She expresses her dream of a bright future in her poems now.
