A student in Afghanistan has spoken about attending a secret school and pleaded with the country’s elders to “consider the education of girls”, while a volunteer at the schools has said she will not let the fear of dying if caught outdo the fear of living, on International Day of Education.
Since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan it has banned girls from attending schools and universities, which has led to some organisations taking it into their own hands to make sure girls get an education, even if the risks if caught are severe.
