Pakistan, 2009: Girls attend a class on the first day of the restart of school at Aman Kot Girls' Primary and Middle School in Swat District in North-West Frontier Province. Over 400 girls' schools were damaged or destroyed during the region's recent fighting. |
I encourage you to take time out to read these powerful articles"like this one, which profiles the girls' school in Afghanistan where students were brutally attacked with acid last year. After you've read them, let us know what you think.
