00:05which means Afghan women have been fighting for survival for two years.
00:10Under Taliban ruling, women are prohibited from attending high schools and universities.
00:15Reuters highlights 27-year-old Maryam,
00:18who used to work as a database officer for an international education project
00:23before the Taliban took over the country.
00:26Maryam now owns a sewing workshop.
00:29She's hired 15 of her former colleagues, who had lost their jobs since the Taliban takeover.
00:35She said,
00:36I never turned back, nor did I ever give up.
00:39I continued on my path.
