    the fact remains that 1.2 million girls and women are unable to access formal education as a direct result of Taliban policies.

    This article talks about the difficulties of previous education under the Western-backed governments; about the current problems; why online has problems; that leaving the country isn't always possible.

    And it shows that there's potential for change, but it's complicated and difficult.

      ‘I want the world to take our problem seriously and not conclude our story with a few online courses"

      I really appreciated this quote under the headline. Sometimes we can see a single solution and think that a problem is essentially solved. Finding workarounds to oppression isn't solving the problem, it's compensating and compromising but the oppression remains.
