I am haunted by a snake. I'm in my small abandoned village. I am alone in the house. Sometimes a snake crawls through the door, sometimes it suddenly appears in the middle of the room. When I see her, I want to jump up, but I can not. I froze. No one comes to the rescue. I wake up, still unable to move or scream.

About niqab:
I myself decided to wear the niqab, in my family tried to dissuade me. I'm the only one of the sisters who wears it. I will not be forced. I want to be like my cousins. Their brothers told them to wear the niqab. They were forced to, and I - no. I feel more free when I wear it.

That the West should be aware of the Islamic world and then there do not yet understand:
At first glance, it may seem that Yemen - closed and backward country, but it is not. We have more freedom than you think. We even have such freedoms, which do not have any in Europe. For example, you can become invisible when you wear the niqab. And you can do something about it, remaining invisible, like a ghost.

I started wearing it in high school, so I told my father. In a society in which I live, all wear the niqab, and I have to be like everyone else. I like it because I'm so more protected. But when I think about it, it seems to me that women who do not wear it, less stick. But in general, I do not believe men because, as I have often noticed, they betray women. So maybe I will not marry.
