Educating women in Afghanistan | Shabana Basij-Rasikh | TEDxInstitutLeRosey

Afghani women have the right to education too! How one woman was able to give women and young girls access to the gift of education. Her school is attempts to heal tribal and gender divisions. While still in college, Shabana co-founded SOLA—School of Leadership, Afghanistan, a nonprofit dedicated to giving young Afghans access to quality education abroad and jobs back home. Her school of leadership became the nation's first boarding school for girls and it represents all major ethnic groups, religious sects, and tribes. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
