“As the founder of the only all-girls boarding school in Afghanistan, I’m burning my students’ records not to erase them, but to protect them and their families. I’m making this statement to mainly reassure the families of our students whose records we burned and our supporters of our safety,”[6]
On 24 August 2021 it was announced that the school had temporarily relocated to Rwanda in the previous week, with 250 students and staff.[7][8][9]
