“#Young Afghan female mountaineer plans next summit<\/strong>”

\n KABUL \u2013 Eighteen-year old Fatima Sultani gazes at the peak of a mountain near Afghanistan\u2019s capital Kabul after completing a morning climbing session, considering her next challenge.<\/p>\n

She and her team of nine young Afghan mountaineers, including three women, are hoping to climb Afghanistan\u2019s Mir Samir mountain and after that travel<\/a> to Nepal to summit the world\u2019s highest peak, Mount Everest.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy main goal is to show the world that Afghan women are strong and can do the most challenging work that men do,\u201d she told Reuters. \u201cWhen I became aware that women from foreign countries come here to conquer high peaks I thought \u2026 why can\u2019t we Afghan women conquer these peaks?\u201d<\/p>\n

Sultani has continued climbing throughout the coronavirus pandemic, in August making it to the summit of the 7,492 metre (24,580 feet) Noshakh Peak in the Hindu Kush mountain range in northern Afghanistan, becoming the youngest woman in the world to do so.<\/p>\n

But as the Islamist Taliban hold peace talks with the Afghan government in Doha, many women in Afghanistan worry the militant group may exert its influence through formal political channels.<\/p>\n

When the Taliban ruled the country between 1996 and 2001, they banned education for females and barred women from leaving the house without a male relative.<\/p>\n

The group says it has changed but many women remain skeptical.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got into sports, I knew that I would face some problems in the future, for example, one of the issues was that maybe the Taliban would hinder sport for women, but still I\u2019m ready to face the challenge,\u201d Fatima said.<\/p>\n

When she\u2019s not training in the mountains, Fatima lives in Kabul with her parents, younger sister and cat. Her father said he will continue to celebrate Fatima\u2019s achievements but has lingering concerns about her safety.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am worried about this, (the Taliban) oppose women\u2019s sports,\u201d Abdul Wahed Sultani said. \u201c(But) I told Fatima that you are free to do whatever sport you want to, even mountaineering, and I will support her as much as I can.\u201d<\/p>\n
