The Taliban banned Afghan girls from school 1,000 days ago, but some brave young women refuse to accept it.

June 8 marks 1,000 days since the Taliban banned girls over the age of 12 from all schools in Afghanistan. The ban, issued just days after the group retook control over Afghanistan in 2021, has left hundreds of thousands of girls with little hope of a formal education.

According to students who spoke with CBS News, Sherin's classes are a last hope to escape the mental anguish of being denied an education. Some said continuing education was a way to avoid being married off by their families.'It is a risky choice to educate these girls, but I have chosen this path,' Sherin said.
