60 Minutes: Afghan girls describe how they escaped the Taliban

Even in the 21st century, the status of women has not changed. However, we are not saying that nothing has changed as we still live in a patriarchal society where men always want to suppress women. The condition of women in Islamic countries is more miserable than in other countries, especially since the situation is quite challenging in Afghanistan. Women face a lot of serious problems there and the worst thing is that they can’t complain. The rules for women are always strict in Islamic countries, but since the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, the situation recently worsened, Afghan girls have spoken about their condition and how they escaped from the Taliban.

60 minutes of Afghan history shared by girls

This week on 60 Minutes, correspondent Lesley Stahl reported on everything from an Afghan boarding school for girls called the Afghanistan Leadership School, SOLA. This Afghan internee was forced to flee Kabul when the Taliban falsified control of this nation in August 2021, after the US military withdrew from Afghanistan. The educational institution migrated to Rwanda, where it educates and teaches girls in grades 6 to 12. Several of its high school students now attend boarding schools abroad.

For those who don’t know, the Taliban have banned girls’ education and only girls cannot get anything beyond a sixth grade education. This ban has shattered the dreams of girls and young women in the country and then they decide to leave the country and move to other countries so that they can at least get an education. Last year in the summer season SOLA high school students practiced public speaking, listened to 1 hour first hand accounts of their last moments in Afghanistan and how much they want to complete their education and value it. The videos of these students are posted online and can be easily viewed by people on any website.

60 Minutes Afghanistan

We are not going to tell you the story of hope. About the group of Afghan girls who are in an educational institution. They are studying in SOLA. It was started by an ambitious young Afghan woman named Shabana Basij-Rasikh, who was familiar with the power and importance of education. They had to flee Afghanistan in a harrowing flight, and we found out that the SOLA girls returned to the classroom. As we mentioned earlier, SOLA moved to an African nation, Rwanda, once the site of a terrifying genocide that killed close to a million and left two million refugees.
