Helpful Score: 2

unbelievable, going from starting to study at the university, to beeing affraid to go outside. Women were nothing during that time, not allowed to learn, study, work, not able to read books, watching TV, listening to music, taking photographs, wearing make up, confinded 24 hours inside the house out of fear they wear something wrong, do something wrong and be beaten in result of that. Not able to get medical care for women at all. Helpless, depression and a fight of making something out of their situation by helping younger kids to learn in their home so they have somewhat of an education. Terrible to read of families who had no male in the family and how they survived, since nobody is allowed to go outside without a male present. You will get a little inside into the underground world and how they were holding up.
