What's that?

Secret underground schools for girls where teachers and students risk beatings and lashings and imprisonment if they're caught, just so they can receive the basics of an education?

Is this from The Handmaids Tale?

No. This is the actual reality of life in Afghanistan in 2024.

Some of the schools are paid for by the charity Ideas Beyond Borders. Info and donation opportunity in the link below.

1.4 Million girls in Afghanistan don't receive a secondary education. If that sounds like a big number and is hard to visualize, let's put it another way.

ZERO AFGHAN GIRLS ARE IN SCHOOL AFTER THE AGE OF 11.

That's the Taliban way. They stay at home and do the housework, until they are married and then they stay at home and do the housework.

What can they do?

Open Secret Underground Schools.

Ssssh!

"At least 1.4 million girls in Afghanistan have been denied access to secondary education since the Taliban returned to power in 2021.

We urge the international community to remain mobilized to obtain the unconditional reopening of schools and universities to Afghan girls and women."

Audrey Azoulay,
UNESCO Director-General.
