Anonymous, ex-teacher, female
Most of my family members are teachers, mother, sister, and brother. With the arrival of the Taliban, we lost our jobs.
Only my brother remains a teacher, whose income is not enough for our family. My father is also unemployed, which means a big financial problem for all the teachers.
Teachers do not have freedom of thought and expression. The Taliban has sent written letters to all schools saying that their ideology should be taught in all schools, which is known to be terror and war.
Some teachers I know have been warned about trying to defend their rights.
