  • “Pashtana is a modern day inspiring woman. She gave many girls in Afghanistan the exposure to an education they are entitled to have even if the men folk and Taliban says they aren't. She started the nonprofit LEARN in Afghanistan instead of attending Oxford University in England. LEARN gets pens, paper, schoolbooks and tablets to the girls of Afghanistan living in remote areas. Pashtana is a true hero for today”

  • "On March 30th I had an amazing opportunity to attend "Courageous Leadership: Our Efforts to Educate Women & Girls in Afghanistan" where I met Pashtan … Durrani and learned about her work to provide education to women and girls in Afghanistan. I found the event very informative and thought-provoking and it really opened my eyes to the dangerous situations women and girls are facing in Afghanistan. This also made me think about my own background as a child of immigrants, and how different my life would have been if they hadn't moved here. I really loved attending "Courageous Leadership: Our Efforts to Educate Women & Girls in Afghanistan", and I look forward to going to the next Speaker Series event

  • I met Pashtana Dorani when we were preparing for the annual International Women's Day (IWD) event the Slater International Center hosts each year. As soon as we met, I felt her strength, passion, and love for her work. For the IWD 2022: Women in the World event, Pashtana agreed to be our highlighted speaker. Her speech resonated with the Wellesley College students, faculty and staff in attendance through her storytelling and call to action. She is a strong speaker and advocate and, most importantly, further motivated those in the audience to expand women's rights and the rights of all peoples both locally and globally.
