After pouring her life into the shelter, Akramy said that she felt “betrayed” when she discovered that Washington did not make any demands on women’s rights in the landmark withdrawal agreement reached with the Taliban last year.

In the peace negotiations between the warring Afghan government and the Taliban, the militants only made vague promises to protect women’s rights based on Islamic values.

At the same time, well-known women including media workers, judges and activists are among more than 180 people who have been assassinated since September — the US and Afghan governments blame militants for killing these people.

Although some radicals have been able to escape the country, most ordinary women have no choice but to watch the chaotic development.

“become a Afghan woman It’s not easy,” Akrami said.

“I’m tired of constant fighting, I’m on the verge of losing everything,” she said.
