Afghan activist's memoir details her fight to educate women

Season 2024 Episode 58 | 6m 12s

When the Taliban roared back to power in Afghanistan in 2021, education activist Pashtana Durrani had some 7,000 girls enrolled in her organization. The schools were shuttered and Pashtana was forced to flee. She’s now living in exile in the U.S. and still working to educate girls back home. Amna Nawaz spoke with her about her remarkable story told in her new book, "Last to Eat, Last to Learn."
