reporter: sekaina is the best student in the class. when she stands in front of the others, she forgets for a moment that in this region, women are expected to devote their lives to cooking and other domestic work. after school, it's a short walk home for sekaina and her two siblings, where their mother is waiting. their father is working on a building site at the moment. he doesn't have a permanent job, so the family has to make ends meet with any casual labor he can find. sekaina: i hope that in a few years, i can go to high school and later attend university in kabul. i would also like to become a doctor. reporter: a very different path from her mother, who can neither read nor write. as a teenager, she was forced into an arranged marriage. she tells how she grew up under the taliban, far from here, but the taliban drove her and her family away. since then, she has muddled through as best she can, she says. and now she's happy that at least her children are learning something. nearby, people are making their way to friday prayers. b
