Afghan girl promotes female education defying Taliban | Video

Zabul, Oct 27 (EFE/EPA).- Razia Samim became the first high school graduate from her remote village in southern Afghanistan, and is now inspiring other girls in her area to continue studying despite the lack of resources and the ban on female education by the Taliban.

The 20-year-old belongs to one of the last batch of women to graduate before the fundamentalists banned them from high school classrooms after coming to power in 2021, a ban they later extended to university and higher education as well. (Camera: STRINGER).
