Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Educating women under the Taliban
20 January @ 5.30pm to 6.30pm
About Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Educating women under the Taliban
As a college freshman, Shabana Basij-Rasikh co-founded SOLA, which would become the only boarding school for girls in Afghanistan.
In 2021, days after the fall of Kabul to the Taliban, she led the dramatic evacuation of the school from Afghanistan to Rwanda, where it operates as the only boarding school for Afghan girls in the world, a place of hope and promise.
Shabana describes this haven where Afghan girls will always be free to learn.
