Forestil jer et land hvor piger skal snige sig ud for at gå i skole, med dødelige konsekvenser hvis de bliver fanget i at lære. Dette var Afghanistan under Taliban, og spor efter den fare eksisterer fortsat i dag. 22-årige Shabana Basij-Rasikh leder en skole for piger i Afghanistan. Hun fejrer styrken i familiens beslutning om at tro på deres døtre -- og fortæller historien om en modig far der står imod lokale trusler. (Filmet ved TEDxWomen)

Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Tør at uddanne afghanske piger

Risking their lives for education, Afghan girls attended secret schools under Taliban rule, where even grocery bags disguised their books. One family’s unwavering support broke generations of taboo, enabling a daughter to graduate from college when fewer than six percent of Afghan women her age did. Change remains fragile, but families who champion their daughters show that hope can outlast fear. The power of belief can open doors in the most dangerous places.
