"To every girl in Afghanistan: stay brave, and never stop learning. Afghanistan needs strong, educated women. I believe that one day we will reach our goals and fulfill our dreams." After the Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, Robina Azizi and her family fled the country. Now living in Germany, she's determined to fight for Afghan girls' right to learn and founded Girls on the Path of Change Academy, an organisation and online community dedicated to help Afghan girls through education and storytelling.
