@@programing23I totally agree with you. Even though I, myself, am Hazara, by labeling people either Hazara, Pashton etc., we just perpetuate an incessant loop that separated us, Afghanistan and is the main reason of current situation. Such false sayings only deepen this wound, worsening the catastrophe that has descended on us
@AhmedKorcuglu I love that you are Hazara I love Hazara people, I have more friends in hazaras then Pashtoon’s which I’m, but if you don’t want someone to be the voice of all afghan girl it’s okay. I don’t wanna fight you, I wanted to make her big, if you don’t want that you Hazara feel superior and better then all others I don’t blame you stay that way and I don’t judge you..
I am living in Afghanistan and I'm a young afghan girl like Nila but our difference is that my life froze in 15th august but she raised her voice and move as a afghan girl I proud of you Nila and keep shining dear🤍🤍
Unfortunately no females can raise their voices in Afghanistan, she is living aboard therefore she can do anything. Stay strong my dear sister, inshaAllah things get better and easier for u all...Ameen
Before the Taliban’s takeover on August 15, 2021, a distinct cultural shift had taken root in Afghanistan, beginning with the American invasion in 2001. During this period, proficiency in English became more valuable than even a college degree. The ability to speak English opened doors to employment with NGOs, American and European organizations, and other foreign agencies operating within the country. Afghanistan’s 34 provinces were effectively divided among Western European nations, Australia, the United States, and Canada, each overseeing their respective Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). These teams, in tandem with military bases established within the provinces, created vast networks of employment. This structure directly and indirectly engaged hundreds of thousands of Afghanistanis, with English fluency often serving as the primary qualification for participation in these economic opportunities.
That last message really made me emotional. I'm living in Afghanistan and the situation is really tough. I have always been trying, but these last days I have been feeling like giving up and having no hope and really needed to hear that. Thank you Nila for being our voice.❤
Translation of the first poems of the video: "Boro bakhayr ba maktab, dars bekhān dokhtar jān O beloved girl! Go to school and learn! Ba tu niyāz dāra Afghānistān dokhtar jān Afghanistan needs you, O beloved girl! Zange maktab mekhāna dang dang dang The bell of the school rings dang dang dang Bā darse naw mesha zendagāni rang rang (And) the life becomes colorful with the new lesson Then, she continues that we girls protest and stand against the decision of the Kabul Educational Department. (I think it was before of the Fall of Kabul in 2021 during the republic that the Ministry of Education ordered that girls above 13 can't sing. It was by the pressure of the international community, especially UK that they finally reversed their decision). Nila adds that: "To remove our voice is to remove ourselves. We stand against this decision and join our voices."
Your song, it doesn't just give us hope, it also gives us the encouragement to persevere and go on trying for a better future, no matter what hardships and difficulties we face through these tough times!
Hope all Afghan women get their fundmental rights (study and work) 💚 One thing the Taliban have forgotten is Islam began with the word 'Iqra' meaning read.
@@fghan786 I checked the meaning after reading your comment. Iqra indeed means read or recite. Can you tell us where did you heard or read that Iqra means repeat after me?
Every word holds immense power, and the lyrics in her singing have triumphed over those who have sought to ban education for girls in Afghanistan. Continue to strive diligently and demonstrate our capabilities to the world. We are incredibly proud of you, Nila Ibrahim - the Voice of Afghan Girls.
Let's not forget that the Taliban killed hundreds of boys and girls in their school by sending suicide bombers. They mostly targeted Hazara girls looking like Nila. Nila survived several suicide attacks. However, it's incredible how good English she's speaking. She has only been living in Canada for 3 years.
Impressed... thank you Nila for raising your voice against the Taliban. Although every one of us has raised our voices but yours is now more powerful as your are everywhere on social media. I hope one day we can have a country where women have their freedom.
As an Afghan girl who has been living far from my country for five years, I feel a deep connection to my people in Afghanistan. Even though I am not there physically, I stand in solidarity with them. In every essay l've written throughout school and college, I have expressed my concerns about the struggles Afghanistan faces-it's simply not fair. In every movement l've participated in, I have made it a point to speak up for Afghanistan. I believe it is our collective responsibility to raise awareness and advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves.
Afghan activist Nila Ibrahimi shares how she used song to protest oppressive laws in Afghanistan before the Taliban takeover. She discusses finding her voice through activism, escaping the country, and her message to the Taliban about the resilience of Afghan girls.
I hate it when we as Afghans are still talking about Hazara, Tajik, and Pashtoon. Please, guys, that’s pathetic. This was the reason Afghanistan fell apart. MashaAllah she is a strong girl.
That was an incredibly powerful speech, showcasing the strength and resilience of Afghan women and girls who continue to inspire the world; as an Afghan girl, I am deeply proud of you for amplifying our voices even in the face of the Taliban's oppression, I firmly believe in the courage of the women in my homeland, who will find a way to overcome and reclaim their right to education and opportunity.
Wow I can’t believe we have such amazing talents and great youths. I was also a student in Marefat high school, and I have seen many girls and boys who had fantastic achievements as one of them here in TED talk did an outstanding talk! Really proud to see our Hazara girls shining!
and we won`t give up never. we won`t give them what they want. we`re not the same as we were 20 years before. we`re gonna get what we deserve whether by asking or taking it.
04:45 I'm surprised to see that she has a co-host for part of this especially considering how well she speaks English 05:13 I don't think she's a teenager anymore because when Afghanistan got taken by Taliban was a long time ago. I was going to say that's when I was in high school but that was for the September 11th.. That's not the same thing America hey
My young Afghan daughter, I am so proud of you . I am an exiled Iranian woman , and I know Afghan’s woman have it way tougher, but I hope to see freedom for Iranian and Afghan’s women before my end time. Did I tell you how gorgeous you are. Keep the fight alive my daughter.
How's she impressed everyone, the girl who's able to expert her and her countrywomen power I'm so pleased that I heard her message and her voice All for free Afghanistan and any dictatorship ❤🚩 🇦🇫 from Iran
I am happy to see, there are such strong Afghan girls who fight to take their education right back. I pray for the day that all my country's girls gain their right to live in equity.
Hazaras are most talented community who live in Afghanistan among other communities. It’s not only we have her to raise the voice of Afghans girls and women, but the community produces many girls like her. Unfortunately, regardless being Hazara the community is facing many troubles since many years. Hope other communities get educated and have a broad minded in the country.
Oh my God ...I am hazara as well I am 12 and I just wanna become a singer I am in Afghanistan and I am just hopeful one day I reach to all my dreams❤❤❤😢
@roycekingplays8116 Really sorry but that is my dream I believe in Allah and if it is haram then why Allah send this thought to me I pray every day and I am sure Allah know best. and you know I search about it that singing and music it is not haram just those kind of musics and singing haram that coz people come out or lose their control and I believe in God and I don't pay attention to others opinions ....That's my dream and nothing can stop from that except Allah
Proud of her. I have found Afghan girls and women -the most inspiring and talented women . Unfortunately, a group with wrong ideology lead them towards adversity. I hope Afghan women get their rights back
Nila, thank you. We wish you more success. We all have responsibility to do our part in the fight against systematic discrimination, injustice and genocide.
We are all one nation. We are not Hazara, Tajik or Pashton. We are just deprived girls whose rights are taken away and we have to fight against and regain it.
She is talking about the situation girls are living in in Afghanistan under Talibans government and how she scape the country . They are an intemperate group who has overtaken the country. They are against women's rights and have banned girls from education and working or going out.
I dunno what she has done for our sisters who are deprived of their education right in Afghanistan. The media is magnifying her because she has a good accent. Nothing else!
UK separated from Iran with an unfair invasion less than years ago. Then Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, then US, then Islamist extrimists of Saudi Arabia... Afghanistan has gone through lots of pain and suffering coming from western & reastern countries. It is time to free Afghans, especially Afghan women. This is everyone's moral responsibility. I hope seeing a Free Afghanistan soon.
Banning the girls education, the Taliban do not practice the religion of islam, they practice the religion of Tlibanism. In fact, there are a lot members of that group who seem disagreeing those practices, but they agree in order to be in power.
Hazara, Tajik, Uzbek and other minority groups wants their women’s to get educated, except Afghan ethnic group which dominates the Taliban regime. Afghan people in the southern Afghanistan have a code which is called “Pashtunwalli” which forbids women from having basic human rights. Afghan doesn’t represent the whole population of Afghanistan. This term has been forced on other nationalities living in Afghanistan.
I am proud of the Afghan women and girls. The Taliban came to the power with the help of US and Pakistan army. The NATO and the US in general betrayed the Afghan people and signed the Qatar Agreement to replace the corrupted regime that was a by product of the US governments. Because of that betrayal, the Afghan people now pays the price.
Which movement exactly??? Her protest was seemingly against the then Afghanistan ministry of education that temporarily banned school girls from singing in gatherings infront of male audiences.
Nila you beautiful brave soul! Feminism will succeed because of innovative and motivated people just like you. It is going to accelerate in progress soon. I pray for you and all Afghani people. Extreme groups trying to push a very false narrative of what the religions and the higher power of God really want to achieve and would want to see from the people of the Faith. War and devastation is not what is wanted by God. You are an inspirational speaker and I’m proud of your use of your voice and your harnessing your abilities to fight for rights for all girls and women of Afghanistan! 😊💚🔮☦️🏳️⚧️
Proud of her. She is a Hazara girl, raising the voice of Afghan girls and women on the world stage.

Thank you brother for such exact dictation and translation of that inspiring song for Afghanistani girls.
It was great.❤❤❤
Lol dang dang
Every generation of the Hazara people creates a new generations, we proud of us
Appreciate that ❤
Thanks TED stage for giving her the opportunity. It was short time but OK.
Your song, it doesn't just give us hope, it also gives us the encouragement to persevere and go on trying for a better future, no matter what hardships and difficulties we face through these tough times!
Hope all Afghan women get their fundmental rights (study and work) 💚
