What do you do if you find a female criminal? Do you release her or put her in prison?
It’s not my job, I don't arrest anyone, but if I have to do this, I do the same for a man.
As a woman what is your reason for coming to Afghanistan, and what is your job here?
I'm a woman but I love my job and I love my country and our task now is to help Afghan people in order to improve development and to help the government. I am here to do my job because I love it.
When did you choose to work in the army?
It was a dream for me to work in the army, and when I finished school I was 18 and it was not allowed by the law. Luckily in 2000 it became possible so I joined the army.
My family and my father especially are proud because of it.
Have you ever killed a man during your missions?
No, I have never killed anybody.
What did you know about Herat and Heratian people before coming to Afghanistan?
