Nuristani, a 20-year-old woman from Kabul, the Afghan capital, loves fitness.

But in Kabul, she could not find a place for women to exercise. In Afghanistan, especially in rural areas, the old concept is still imprisoning women. Many people prevent women from going to school and working away from home.

A place like the gym is a place where all the men are occupied. Most of the other sports facilities are also the world of men.

The reluctant Nuristani gnawed his teeth and simply started his own fitness club. The club cost $20,000 and is called the Blue Moon Fitness Club. This is the first women's fitness club in Kabul.

Women's fitness is not easy, and the difficulty and pressure faced by the women's gymnasium can be imagined. She said: "I want to provide a free fitness place for girls like me, which can also contribute to the advancement of women's rights."

Her fitness club has a strength training area, aerobic training area, yoga training area, etc. The partition is reasonable and compact, the facilities are perfect, and the interior is newly renovated. The light blue floor, combined with soothing background music, makes it easy to calm down and enjoy yoga or other exercise.

When the reporter interviewed, there was a girl who was doing some stretching exercises in the mirror.

In many other countries, women's fitness is usually dressed in hot sports vests and shorts. Here, even during fitness, the girls are still dressed in traditional costumes, wrapped around headscarves, wrapped themselves from head to toe, and only reveal their faces.

Afghan friends said that before the 1970s, women could see women wearing shorts and walking on the street. Later, with the change of regime, women’s dresses became more and more conservative. When the Taliban came to power, they took extreme measures and women were all Dressed in "Polk", you can only see the world outside through the tulle at your eyes.

The girl who is exercising is called Habizai. She is 19 years old and is a member of the Afghan National Women’s Cycling Association and a frequent visitor to the club.

“I ride between the club and my family every day. Every time I encounter some men’s harassment on the road, they will throw stones at me or shout some ugly words to me. Some extreme men who are arrogant and serious in gender discrimination even threaten Let me not come to the health club. Regardless of them, I insist on exercising every day, anyway," she said.

"As long as we have the courage and determination, our Afghan women can break the traditional imprisonment, break through the social and cultural obstacles, prove our existence and enhance our status." Habizai said.

Compared to similar fitness venues, this club has a lower fee. Nuristani said that she hopes that through her efforts, more Afghan women will be able to walk out of the house, come outside, come to the club and enjoy the fitness.

Since the fall of the Taliban, the status of Afghan women has improved significantly. More and more women are able to participate in political, economic, and artistic activities, which were previously prohibited.

But the power of social tradition is still strong, and many women are limited in their lives and work. It is the people like Nuristani who are striving to break through the tradition and strive for women’s rights step by step.

“Since the opening of the business two months ago, more than 50 women have become our members, insisting on practicing yoga or other training here. Despite the pressure from the social tradition, our membership is still rising.” Club Yoga Coach Ib Rahimi said.
