In this picture taken on September 25, 2013, schoolgirls listen as they sit in Shamsia Husseini’s classroom at Mirwais Mena school in Kandahar city. When attackers threw acid in Shamsia Husseini’s face outside her school in Afghanistan, she defied them by returning to class — and now she has struck another blow for female education by becoming a teacher herself.
