Dear Diary,
Today my husband died. He was helping me and other Afghan women protest in Kabul, but unfortunately the Taliban came and start shooting at everyone who was protesting. He was shot about half a dozen times trying to protect me from the bullets but in a blink of an eye he was gone.
I knew I had to protect my children from this evil so covered myself in his blood and laid under his deceased body, hoping that they wouldn't see me I stayed as still as I could as I heard footsteps beside me.
I was protesting for Afghan women's rights because I am scared for mine and my 2 daughters future especially now my husband has died.
Over the last couple of years the women of Afghanistan have been banned from gyms, colleges, universities and recently we have been banned from parks. I did have a son but he was blown up walking to school by a landmine. It was devastating and I cried for months on end. I am very worried about how I will feed my daughters because I am unemployed and me and my husband were already struggling to bring food home. If i don't find a job soon i will have to turn to stealing food even if that dose mean risking my life, my girls are everything i have and i will not let them starve to death.
This civil war has effected my daughters in many ways they have not had access to education, they do not have any friends because there friends have either fled or died and they are terrified every day.
