Four years ago, girls in Afghanistan were banned from attending school after completing the 6th grade, a measure imposed by the Taliban regime that severely restricted access to female education in the country. Since then, thousands of students have resorted to a clandestine education system to continue their academic formation. The girls are forced to flee through basements and constantly vary their routes to avoid detection by Taliban authorities, risking retaliation if discovered. This phenomenon represents a form of silent resistance against the restrictive policies of the regime, allowing thousands of girls to continue having access to secret classes where they can study despite the official ban.
