This article is base on the Afganistan girls who are trying to make a difference in their country by going to school as much as they can, but one day two girls while walking to school a guy drove up on his motorcycle and asked, "Are you going to school?" and with out an answer and no warning he sprayed acid in both of their faces causing scars and boils to come over their face. Shamsia and her sister was the two girls that got sprayed with this acid, Shamsia's eyelids and most of her left cheek. Now her vision goes in and out, which makes it hard for her to read.
It was not only her and her sister but 14 other students and teachers who faces are scarred by the acid, they believe that they only do this in order to keep these young girls and teachers from going to school, and thinking that education is the wrong thing but these students and teachers are still attending school no matter what. In NY Times Shamsia said, “My parents told me to keep coming to school even if I am killed.” She added, “The people who did this to me don’t want women to be educated. They want us to be stupid things.”
I believe that this is one of the most dangerous thing that has happened for this past year, and also the most highly tragic thing you could do to someone who is trying to get their education and become more of a better person in life. I also think that something must be done with the people who go around and commit such a evil task to young women like these girls.
