Zainab is from Ishkashim, a district of Badakhshan province bordering with Tajikistan. This place has recently been a battle ground between Taliban and government forces. Zainab’s family left their village and settled at a nearby district living in tents. There is no school and clinic in this area and people have to cross impassable mountainous tracks to go to a town.
