From age 6 through age 11, Shabana Basij-Rasikh risked her life to go to school. The Taliban had banned girls in Afghanistan from studying at universities and other educational institutions and, thus, Basij-Rasikh dressed as a boy, posing as an escort for her older sister. Together, the two would place their books in grocery bags and sneak off to a secret school. Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Dare to educate Afghan girls “Each day, we took a different route so that no one would suspect where we were going,” says Basij-Rasikh in this powerful talk. “The school was in a house, more than 100 of us packed into one living room … We all knew we were risking our lives — the students, the parents, the teachers.” When the Taliban fell in 2001, Basij-Rasikh’s father was thrilled that his daughters would be able to return to a traditional school. Still, says Basij-Rasikh, her family’s commitment to education for its daughters was not the norm. In Afghanistan, only 6 percent of women 25 or older received any formal education. “I was very lucky to grow up in a family where education was prized and daughters were treasured,” says Basij-Rasikh, a recent graduate of Middlebury College in the United States. “During the Taliban years, I remember there were times I would get so frustrated by our life and always being scared. I would want to quit. But my father would say, ‘Listen, my daughter. You can lose everything you own in your life. Your money can be stolen. You can be forced to leave your home in a war. The one thing that will always remain with you is what is up here. If we have to sell our blood to pay your school fees, we will.’” After college, Basij-Rasikh returned home and co-founded SOLA, the School of Leadership Afghanistan, the first boarding school for girls in Afghanistan. And yet sadly, getting an education is still a risk in the country. To hear a shocking story of one of Basij-Rasikh’s students whose family was targeted by terrorists — simply for sending their daughter to SOLA — watch this talk. Here, more talks from people who went to great lengths to get, or give, an education.

Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Shabana Basij-Rasikh: Usuditi se obrazovati djevojke u Afganistanu Zamislite zemlju u kojoj se djevojke moraju iskradati kako bi išle u školu, sa smrtnim posljedicama ako ih uhvate kako uče. Takav je bio Afganistan tijekom vladavine talibana i tragovi te opasnosti su i danas vidljivi. 22-godišnja Shabana Basij-Rasikh vodi školu za djevojke u Afganistanu. Slavi moć obiteljske odluke da vjeruju u svoje kćeri — i priča priču o hrabrome ocu koji se usprotivio lokalnim prijetnjama.
