Afghanistan: For the Sake of My Sisters

Four female Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ presenters, who fled Afghanistan following the Taliban takeover in August 2021, are helping to bring education back to Afghan children. This is their story.

When the Taliban took power in Afghanistan in August 2021, they closed off access to formal education for girls aged 11 and over. According to Unesco, 80 per cent of school-aged Afghan girls and young women - 2.5 million people - are now out of school. In response, the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ World Service created 'Dars or 'Lesson', a TV and radio series in Pashto and Dari. Now, despite the challenges, four female Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ presenters who fled the country following the Taliban takeover are helping to bring education back to Afghan children. This is their story.
