Shabana Basij-Rasikh ’11

This young woman’s response to the question is very illuminating to me because I believe that it is the first native voice of Afghanistan that has offerred me a first-hand account of general civilian treatment under the Taliban. My heart roils against their treatment of women there.
I thank you for her important story.

Absolutely beautiful. Thanks, Shabana, for your enlightening thoughts on a very complicated matter.

I agree, and Shabana seems like a very brave, inspiring woman. I hope her all the best with her pursuits at Middlebury and later helping her country!
