Shagufa got her master’s at Brandeis University on Sunday. So there, Taliban!
A quick update on Shagufa Habibi of Herat, Afghanistan, a determined young woman I first wrote about here. (You can find related articles by searching on her name at this blog or on the web.)
As everybody knows, the Taliban are now running Afghanistan and are opposed to higher education — or almost any kind of education — for girls and women. Well, too bad! Shagufa spent the last two years studying at Brandeis University, and yesterday she was awarded her master’s degree.

Congratulations 🎉
Congrats, congrats! How awful is to deprive half the population of an education.
It’s really shooting yourself in the foot.
Absolutely. All the talent and energy that go to waste. Heartbreaking.
