Predstavljajte si državo, v kateri se morajo dekleta tihotapiti, da bi šle v šolo, in kjer je življenjsko nevarno, če jih ujamejo pri učenju. Takšen je bil Afganistan pod oblastjo Talibanov in sledi te nevarnosti obstajajo še danes. 22-letna Shabana Basij-Rasikh vodi v Afganistanu šolo za dekleta. V čast odločitvi družine, da verjame v soje hčere, pove zgodbo o pogumnem očetu, ki se je postavil po robu lokalnim grožnjam. (Posneto na TEDxWomen)

Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Drznite si izobraziti dekleta v Afganistanu

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.
