HALIMA, Survivor Statement

My name is Halima. I am 18 years old and am from Faryab province. I am Uzbek.

In January 2021, I married a Special Forces officer named Ahmed and we had a good life. After the fall of the government, we had to leave Kabul because my husband had worked with the USA.

We had a child in December 2021.

In November 2022, Taliban entered our house and took my husband. Then they raped me.

They were very wild and cruel and raped me every night in my house for a week.

And after a week I was able to escape from my home with my child and we went to one of our relative’s homes. They helped me to go to a doctor in a private clinic and the doctor gave me medicine because my whole body was in such bad pain.

Through the doctor, I found out about your program of providing health care services for raped patients. An Imam helped me get to your team and care program in Kabul.
