@nerdytravelingwriter: 1. My best friend had to flee her own country. Pashtana went into hiding and left Afghanistan after security services warned that people were plotting to attack her. She continued the work from exile. (Wellesley College, January 2022.) 2. LEARN’s teachers and students risk arrest or kidnapping just to teach and learn. Continuing a girl’s education means facing dangers no classroom should ever come with. (The National, March 2023.) 3. School locations were leaked to the Taliban—and LEARN kept going. Pashtana relocated schools three times within a single year because their locations had been exposed. (The National, March 2023.) 4. Even identifying students and teachers online could put them in danger. Pashtana removed their personal information from LEARN’s website to help protect them from Taliban retaliation. (Manara Magazine, May 2023.) 5. With its bank accounts blocked, LEARN still resumed teaching underground within a month of the Taliban takeover. Community members offered their homes and offices so girls could keep learning. (The National, March 2023.)
