- ⚠️ UPDATE: Given the current tragedy unfolding in Afghanistan, many of you must be wondering whats happening with Nazima right now. I want to assure you all that she Is Safe and not In the country anymore. We arranged for her to leave Afghanistan some time ago. We are also working on helping out Everyone else ⚠️
→ THE FUNDRAISER IS NOW CLOSED
🧡 Thank you so much for your contributions! We have collected $10,000 for the Bamyan Ski Club and Nazima 🧡
Nazima Khairzad is a talented athlete from Afghanistan: a country where, if you happen to be born as a girl, you're expected to stay home, and NOT do sports. But Nazima is defying tradition and threats, to follow her greatest passions in life: skiing, hiking, running, and doing sports. Her extraordinary story inspired me to travel to Afghanistan in the first place, and I'm proud to share it with you all.

Thank you for being here to listen to Nazima's inspiring story! If you got this far, please remember that every little counts in our fundraiser here: www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/skiingafghanistan ✨ The world belongs to the brave!
Since when do you think you have the right to take moral high ground over a other Culture? Are you going to make all cultures fit your virtue signalling?
Will you go to Indonesia?
@@suny1265
I’m a Hazara and I feel very good about what Eva doing in Bamyan. We want to learn to live a better and modern life. You have no right to say what she doing with my people.
Beautiful story! The world truly belongs to the brave!
@@suny1265 Please clarify who you are referring to and what moral high ground. I also don't judge other cultures but I don't think Eva was doing that and Nazima was merely telling her own story. This is a far cry from virtue signalling, believe me. My personal belief is that there is no good reason to deny a fellow human being the right to pursue their own path, wherever that may lead them. Consequences will arise naturally as a result but they bear responsibility. It is the chauvinist who sees himself as strong and virtuous. Live and let live.
Nazima is a real hero, as a Afghan man i really feel shame that our girls have a lot of issues for just being woman in Afghanistan
Yeah and here in the west our girls keep protesting to get rights they already have...western girls should take a look to what's like to be a girl in Afghanistan and some muslim countries.
@@eldesconocido5734 we don’t stop protesting just because we have it better than others. We keep fighting until everyone is free.
@morag sorat it's a fact wester girls all in all have it easier. That being said it doesn't mean girls around here don't face problems, but you it's not the same.
@@eldesconocido5734 and we all NEED to keep fighting for it, so these rights are kept, nothing its garanteed my dude
@@vampiraJ if "we" refers to you as a western girl, lemme tell you something: you have the easiest lives on the whole world, that´s straight up facts. and you´re going to ruin it very soon.
When she said "they are alive but they cannot live" 💔
@Win Everything so cruel that country...
@Win Everything And the whole rural Afghanistan and Muslims wanna live in Denmark (but never KSA, Turkey, Egypt).
@Win Everything what’s wrong with you ??? R u a human??
@Win Everything you thoughts are not a humanity thought 💭 you are not a real muslim I think 🤔 because islam is not like you think and believe . Islam is equality between man and woman
@Win Everything our issue is the life afgan ladies!!! I don’t mind your religion and your islam idealism, so we want the freedom of our lady’s in Afganistan and want their improvements in every branches .their Social and cultural freedom is their rights .
As an Afghan, I would like to thank you for coming here. You are braver than all of us. Because you have risked your life to reflect the lives of our hopeless and hapless people.
Afghanistan is a country full of stars but hidden behind the clouds of war and terror. As an Afghan in my early 20's, I have seen nothing but war, guns, bullets, and heard nothing but bomb blasts, gunshots... And all of these have taught me one thing that I will never forget and it is that being here in Afghanistan is like being in a cage and seeing the outside world and saying how beautiful it must be to be free and live and travel without any fear. I think most of the Americans, Europeans, and others don't really know how fortunate they are to have such peaceful countries and can live, and love as they want. I can only imagine how amazing and beautiful it must be to live without the fears that I have been living all my life. It is a kind of philosophical truism that says: you only know the value of a thing when you don't have it. It is only in its absence that you can understand its true value.
Anyway, I hope, and I live for this hope that one day, the peace-thirsty Afghans would eventually get to the ocean of life and live the lives they all deserve.
Long-live humanity
Long live Afghanistan
Long live all peace-promoting countries and people
❤❤❤🇦🇫🇦🇫🇦🇫
Well said. Visiting Afghanistan changed my life. I wish I could unlock the cage and clear the clouds. I’m so sorry we didn’t do better for you all. Please be strong and keep fighting. Sending you love and prayers from Texas.
Agree with you -- sooo sad beyond words. I am a retired U.S. Navy chief petty officer and served a year-and-a-half in Vietnam -- a half-century ago. Same thing happened in 1975, when I saw on TV what happened at the end of that war. Tore my heart to pieces, as I had met so many wonderful Vietnamese men and women. Yes, Westerners have no idea at all of the struggle the people in your country (and other places) have on a daily basis just to survive. I hope and pray that, over time, things in Afghanistan will improve. I don't know how, but I hope. Peace be with you and all who suffer in Afghanistan.
Lots of love to you from Pakistan!🇵🇰🇵🇰💗
May Allah bring peace in Afghanistan and bless you all!💗💗
Brother can you tell me the current situation of Afghanistan and of your area? Please 🥺
Are you happy with Taliban?
🙏
THAT is a strong woman. Fighting for herself but not only that for the whole country and for women's rights in a good way. I truly wish her all the best.
@Win Everything Stop hating because you are afraid
@Win Everything we live in the 21st century now, we all know that every country on this earth has traditions, but the world is changing and it's time to respect each other. You want to be respected, so please, respect the other people's life. Freedom and respect are the keys to a peaceful world.
the love of a brother, to see his sister as an equal
@Anna Gilyanna What is wrong with you? Think, believe, and have whatever vile perception about our prophet you want (unless you want to educate yourself about prophet muhammad pbuh from *acurate sources*) but don't spread hatred and pass malicious comments against one of the most noble religious figure on public platform. He is no common man for Islamic believers and people have deep reverence for him. So as a fellow human, you should not offend others by passing such pity comment.
@Anna Gilyanna See, I don't deny the reality of Islamic extremism and I, as any other civilized muslim condemn such activities. I just know those activities, in any way are not justified and motivated in Islam. They are motivated by narrow minded extremists who think killing people who don't practice Islam and oppose it is a holy war. I would like to cite the teachings of Prophet Muhammad PBUH about holy war for you. Like majority of non-muslims, you too are misled by half knowledge of Islam. Suppression of women rights, the perception is factually incorrect, Islam may not encourage women to equally compete with men but it does encourage women to educate themselves in order to educate other women (as men are not allowed) and if no other source, earn their own living. Also, it is not mandatory for women to cover themselves from head to toe, they just need to wear loose clothings and their heads, especially hairs should not be visible to other males. Islam forbids many seemingly normal activities but every rule has its own rationale.
@Anna Gilyanna While you people love to cite Quranic excerpts like “kill them where u find them,” you ignore that such verses clearly refer to treatment of those who would violently persecute Muslims or any person because of his faith. Similarly, every other verse that seems violent has a justification.
I bet you don't realize how misled you are about Prophet Muhammad PBUH that you didn't know he commanded the following uncompromising rules of war: O people! I charge you with some rules; learn them well…for your guidance in the battlefield! Do not commit treachery, or deviate from the right path. You must not mutilate/disfigure dead bodies. Neither kill a child, nor a woman, nor an aged man. Don't destroy a church or a temple. Bring no harm to the trees, nor burn them with fire, especially those which are fruitful. Slay not any of the enemy's flock, save for your food. You are likely to pass by people who have devoted their lives to monastic services; leave them alone. Don't kill an animal except for eating. Be good to the prisoners and feed them. And in the end, don't enforce Islam.
Islam at every step encourage peaceful living of every one. All I'm saying is please don't disrespect and spread hatred against it. Thank you.
@Win Everything You know she wasn’t skiing naked, right?🙄
@Anna Gilyanna totally agree with you. Part of the reason why Afghanistan doesn't change for the better is because of strictly Islamic people like @Win Everything who never misses an opportunity to spread his bullshit everywhere and try enforce it upon anyone he wants to.
Hope one day she will be number one ski player of Afghanistan 🤞🤞⛷⛷⛷⛷
Ya true say I hope as well finger crossed 🤞
I hope it too. I just found out that there's snow in the middle east especially in Afghanistan. But sadly I'm just did the research that the snow is very dangerous for the people there. Most of the area is completely blocked of snow so it is very difficult for the people who living in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Hopefully this is resolved soon 😊👍
Not only in Afghanistan ❤️
Inshallah🤲
As an afghan it breaks my heart to imagine that there will be some afghan girls who can never achieve their dreams and live a happy life. I hope that young afghan generation can get rid of this nonsense conservative culture.
@Win Everything I’m well aware of radical feminism but in Islam women are allowed to have their basic rights like studying, doing sports or others things. In rural Afghanistan they don’t fully understand Islam. They don’t even allow women to get out of the house.
I wish this wouldn’t be labeled “conservative”. It’s oppressive/ backward/radical. “Conservative” would mean they uphold some positive traditions and that it’s a political position. This is not a women’s rights issue, it’s a human rights issue.
@@samsv5755 Islam is the problem.
There's nothing conservative about Taliban, they're a new invention, a 'progression' to something worse. Conservatism in Afghanistan means preserving old Afghan culture which Taliban actively seek to destroy.
"Conservative" is not the appropriate word......Pillars of Islam is what you are not talking about.
I have grown so attached to Gull, Nazima, and Sajjad. I want to see more of their lives. I hope they all have a good life and that Afghanistan finds peace.
@Win Everything your comments are full of judgement. The whole point of this vlog is that this girl wants to do something different. Therefore she should have the option to do that. No matter what her society says. This should be a human right for ALL.
I hope that is clear for you to understand.
Islam. Is not prescriptive. It’s only your interpretation of Islam that is limiting. As is your interpretation of what women should and shouldn’t do under Islam. Please go educate yourself. Then you won’t make yourself look so foolish.
@Win Everything STFU.
@Win Everything your words are pure BS! Hahaha I'm dying of laughter...none of them looked naked to me, they were fully clothed..worry about your own deeds and leave the judgement to Allah.
@@Nadia.travels People like this are so paranoid about their own women (be it their mothers sisters or cousins) that they must use every aspect of religion to prevent their women from being merely SEEN by the opposite gender. Their trust in their women is so low that they have become so insecure about other men "touching, looking or talking" to their women. Islam is a great religion however it has bred such insecurity in men that the whipping of women has become common place. This guy wouldn't hesitate to stone his own sister to death if she were to be seen walking past a person of the opposite gender.
@Win Everything God also said that to kill one human is equivalent to killing all of mankind. But i dont see that stopping the taliban whom have the same rhetoric you are showing, going around killing other ethnic groups, whipping and stoning their women. Heck the whipping and stoning aint even being done by talibs alone but non talib pasthuns and kuchis. Gotta love thier commitment to the word of God, Huh?
Hope they are all safe with the current situation in Afghanistan.
Im afghan from Nangarhar , but bloody war separate me from my country Afghanistan, I'm proud of you Nazima and also Eva for been there and share the voice of innocent people around the world I wish permanent peace comes there so everyone can live happily❤ 🇦🇫🇬🇧❤
As a Muslim from Yemen I am really sad that we ended like this, I always think about this new dress code for women, and wonder why they choose black color of all colors, I know Japanese ninjas wear black to hide in the dark and be invisible, do they really want to make women invisible? As a male I can't imagine how can you live when you are being forced to be invisible from this world.
This is disgusting, I hope Wahhabism and the rest of extremists ideologies go away soon.
Nazima is SO brave! Defying tradition and threat to follow her passion 👏🏼 an inspiration!! ❤️
Defying *religion. As she should. She deserves to live her heart’s desires.
Sarah & Marek Let's not forget that Afghanistan used to be a very different country with a different culture before the USA "created" the talibans. Universities were full with girls... So we can't speak about tradition here.
@Amina Binte Zakir I agree with you, except that this is not the tradition of Afghanistan, since things were different before the creation of talibans by the USA, and they are different where talibans are absent. The reaction of Nazira's family is certainly influenced by these talibans or by the culture, true, in villages.
@Amina Binte Zakir You are completely right. And Talibans are a group created, trained and armed by the USA to fight against The Soviet Union (Russia and other communist states, the soviet union has collapsed, it does not exist any more, its only "remains" are the "big" Russia) during their invasion of Afghanistan in the seventies. When the soviets left Afghanistan, Taliban used their american "teachings", training and arms to be what they are now, and to fight against the new ennemy : USA. This is of course a brief summary.
@Win Everything i am sure your intentions are good, but brother i have not seenvthis girl "loose her clothes", in fact she is more covered than many of the girls who wear a scarf. Brother you say most of the people are against this kind of activities. My answer to you is we should fear ONLY the law of God subhanah wa ta ta3ala. Don't you this verse where Allah 3azza wa jal says " fear me, not them..." (them = people). And an other verse where He says : "Don't make haram what i have made halal..." Brother i have chosen to be muslim to folliw the wonderful Quran and the sunna, not to follow all the Muslims of the world who declare haram whatever they don't like. Because of people like you, wemen have lost most of the freedom that Islam came to give them. Please tell me how the pleasure she has by skiing is a sin : Is she stealing, comploting against someone, spying on her neighbors, being jealous , is she commiting zina, is she lying and deceiving etc etc. Heee i wish we were REAL fundamentalists, when wemen were the proud riders of the fastest arabic horses, when they sang in groups and on streets to accompny a bride to her husband's house, when they were the proud transmitters of the teachings of the Prophet salla Allahu 3aleyhi wa sallam, when they could freely and frankly tell a man that they admire and love him, and wish to be his spouse...
I have tears in my eyes... It's not fair that these women have to fight and risk their life for doing sports or for studying! I wish all women had the same chances and possibilities like we have!!! One day it will come true... All the best! Greetings from switzerland to you, brave and strong Nazima, to your wise and kind parents, who understand and respect your wish and to Eva, the best travel vlogger. 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷

@Win Everything again this comment??
@Win Everything women were wearing skirts and were more free in Kabul and Tehran 50 years ago, before those cia stooges the mujahadeen and taliban ever pissed in the pot.
Hello of an Afghan boy from France 🇫🇷
She is a hero
Keep doing what you wish no matter who says what! 🇦🇫✌️
Who is here after the Taliban enter to Kabul,
May god protect Nazeema, Gul & Team
Same thoughts 😨
I just couldn’t stop myself from watching this video again today. With Afghans trying to flee from their own homeland irt it just breaks my heart to even come close to imagining how many bright individuals would have to give up their dreams, their future, their lives💔 May Allah SWT be with you beautiful wonderful people of Afghanistan 🤲🏼❤️
Can we just admire her English skills?
@Win Everything what is wrong with you?
@Win Everything i am muslim what happen to afgan is about politics. You think all muslim country like that??? Our Prophet said : all the humans , man and woman is equal!
@Win Everything go with Nike clothes and other bro, they even provide Hijab for sport. nahhh it is only politics!
They're under American occupation and English is the only way to climb up the ladder.
@Win Everything but NGOs has to pull up some stunts to keep millions of dollars flowing.... Otherwise how will NGO owners would buy lavish villas in Kabul and Dubai? 🤔
Wow, this touched me. Nazima is so brave and courageous! ❤
As a Canadian woman, I take everything for granted. I've lived a risk-free life, and I'm thrilled for Nazima because she is a trail blazer and a true inspiration for Afghani Girls and Women. I wish all the best for her; I hope all her hopes and dreams come true. She deserves nothing less. 👏👏
Eva, thank you so much for sharing her important story. This was also a first for you; skiing in Afghanistan! I've said it numerous times, you're the most interesting person on CZcams, hands down. I live vicariously through you. At 60, I'm thinking now my life has been so, so incredibly dull.
As an Afghan, I would like to say that some of the stuff Nazima had said is simply not true. I have 5 sisters and they are educated and have earned their degree from Kabul University. I have close females relatives, cousins, second cousins, family friends, etc. and they have all attended schools and earned their degrees from Kabul university or private colleges. During my primary, secondary, and post-secondary education I have had female students who were actively involved in sports such as basketball volleyball, and combat sports such as Taekwondo. In big cities such as Kabul, Herat, Mazarsharif, Jalalabad females actively attend schools and attend local fitness clubs. During my years living in Afghanistan, I have never heard of female friends and relatives that they were forced by their family members or friends to stop going to schools or receives death threat if they go against their family member wishes. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who provide false information because that what people buy. I wish you have visited schools in cities like Kabul, Mazar Sharif, and other parts of the country where females freely attend schools. Cheers
Not everyone has the luxury to attend schools and this is international problem. According to the National Center of Education about 21% of American Adults fall into illiterate category and that is around 43 million people. In the United Kingdom 16% of people are uneducated. Amish allow female education until grade 8. The illiteracy rate in India is about 30% and in Nigeria is about 35%. France banned Muslim’s females to attend schools if they wear a hijab, Netherlands and Norway do not allow women to attend schools who wear full veil. Education is an international problem and this need to change so male and female could freely have access to school.
@@timharris7904 Thats not the rule in Afghanistan. The number of kids not attending school ist about 3,7 million! and among this 60% girls Unicef says. Happy you come out of a privileged family and living in cities, but all women have the same right to go to school and study, even girls from poor families.
@@igraineohnefurcht621 Am not saying that Afghanistan is a perfect place to get educated, I am simply saying that women have access to education. The video is presented in a way to show that women cannot get an education which is not true. Every country has its problem and in the United States, over 30% of the population or 40 million people are considered illiterate, similarly, in other parts of the world, there are people who do not have access to education. In spite of 40 years of continuous wars, Afghanistan men and women still have access to education. Please do not compare Afghanistan with your country or European country, because they are totally different cultures, societies, economies, and security. Cheers
@@timharris7904 lol you are full of 💩 !!! Kabul is not a whole Afghanistan! 90% of Afghanistan is under control of Taliban and you know Taliban don’t allow girls to study
I came across your channel yesterday, and i am watching this vlog after the news of taliban taking over parts of afghanistan. It is just so heartbreaking to hear her say that they expect the situation for girls to change in few years but it only got worse. I really feel sad for the people of afghanistan🥺. It makes me realise how lucky we are to enjoy everything that we have and be grateful for everything we have. Thankyou for presenting to us such a beautiful vlog showing so many beautiful human beings❤
Brave girl of Afghanistan. Don't leave your passion of skiing Nazima....
Love and support from Pakistan ♥
To Nazima I wish her forever safety and peace. Stay brave and beautiful. From Philippines, from the bottom of my heart.
Dear Nazima! You will be welcomed always here in Pakistan..your story is much inspiring. May Allah help you in achieving your goals. And believe me you are going to live your dreams one day in sha ALLAH..best of luck ❣️
@Win Everything well that's your point and I respect your perspective. But isn't it bad to force Islam against their will? What about LA IKRAHA FID DEEN. Tell them what's correct and leave it on them. Islam doesn't appreciate forcing religion on anyone.
Either beautify these teachings to the level they come running towards it or leave them on their will. Eventually people come back to Allah if that is in their fate. But you can't force violently. No one can!
@Win Everything and if you are talking about what's right and what is wrong then my brother your act of watching a Na Mehram is wrong and out of Islamic boundaries too. Let the girl decide what's best for her. She will ultimately come to the path you have mentioned if you let her experience right and wrong by herself
@Win Everything such rules can be enforced. State can take such actions. My point was to stop violence in such things. Otherwise I am totally in favour of what Allah SWT and Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) command us.
As an Afghan proud of her and can’t wait to see Afghanistan’s future
Then islam should leave that place. Look at how few rights women have in islamic majority countries.
@@sheikshook5720 you need to educate your self it’s not Islam it’s culture. Islam has the greatest respect for women. Not everywhere in Afghanistan people are treated like that, where I’m from Jaghori, Ghazni province girls have regular volleyball and football competitions.

wow!! Jass where r u at in Afganistan?
Eva, thank you so much for visiting my beautiful country. I love seeing this video through your beautiful heart. Thank you for your love of the people and for showing a side of Afghanistan no one sees. I left Afghanistan as a little girl in 1980 and I remember that painful day vividly like it was yesterday. We left family and all our belongings behind. That was due to the war with Russia and unfortunately the Taliban like a horrible plague just won’t go away. The people of Afghanistan need to rise against them and do what Nazima Jaan is doing in order to make a change. Nazima Jaan thank you for your bravery and I’m so happy and proud that you are fighting to make a change. May god keep you safe from the evil that live amongst the innocent Afghan people. May you succeed in whatever you set and may the Taliban be gone like a nasty virus that they are. Nazima Jaan offareen 😘♥️ 🇦🇫
She’s a fighter. We tend to have the luxuries of gondolas and chairlifts for guaranteed. She’s not only inspiring Afghan girls her views resonates with most of us. Thank you for sharing her video 🙏🏼
So heart wrenching... we welcome our afghan brothers and sisters to Pakistan. ❤ I wish Nazima a great life ahead. May she get whatever she wishes for.
Wow Eva... I my nearly 50 years on this planet, this is one of the best pieces of journalism I've ever seen. Compelling, heart warming, bringing attention to where it's needed most in the world. Fantastic and well done! Thank you for sharing your journey and I hope you can tell a thousand more stories like this one!
Agreed. Perfectly said. This is exactly my sentiment, also. Thank you so much Eva for your work, and sharing Nazima and her Freedom Story with us!
@@SpiritedHumaneering I agree with both of you. One of the best videos I have seen.

Great😍
Completely agree!
Okay I lost it when she said she was the first woman to bring a medal home for Afganistan. 😭😭😭 So proud of this girl! Big hugs from warm sunny Philippines.
Wow... her English speaking skills are so good. I am trying to learn French my first foreign language so I appreciate her speaking skills. Bravo!!!
I want learn france too, some said that french is a bit hard language, especially the pronounce. How about you? :)
Nazima is so brave I am proud of her! One of my favorite books is about Afghanistan. It is called "the Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini. The book is amazing and for the first time gave me an idea of what life is like in Afghanistan. So it's so interesting to see your series. Send greetings to you and Nazima,Sajjad,Gull and the crew.

"kitter runner" fans also over here!
Eva, this is a fine piece of journalism! Nazima's story really strikes home for me. It is unfathomable to me that anyone would try to control someone and not let them ski or go to school or socialize with anyone they please. This sort of vlog is so powerful because it makes Afghanis, at least some of them, seem so relateable. Every country has a lot of nuance and it is easy for foreigners to over generalize a population. I pray for all Afghanis like Nazima to be safe and find happiness in light of what is happening there since this vlog was published.
Incredibly inspiring! Got a little emotional when she spoke to all the girls in Afghanistan. So much power in her
My heart is on fire after watching my beautiful people far away from peace...

@@unkivv4376 You're just drunk here, need to stop leaning from the google. And you living in islamic country, so why you still breathe dude?
Good efforts to bring Afghanistan in mainstream for the adventurers. specially for Pakistanis 🇵🇰 it's quite informative and alluring clip for tours & adventure in neighbouring country Afghanistan 🇦🇫.
We are proud of you.
Daring lady 👌👍👏🏆🥇🎖️
What an inspiration Nazima is. My appreciation to see so much resilience goes beyond words. And thank you Eva for sharing this story. I pray we find a positive solution for the Taliban so that all people there can live with more freedom and radically change their lives for the positive.
What a brave girl... !! She will definitely be free.
This video series is really opening our eyes to everything we take for granted ❤️
This video had me literary crying 😢 from appreciating what we have to admiring her passion. Truly inspiring video that reminds me there is no excuse for not pursuing our goals, dreams, and passions ♡♡♡♡♡♡
Not everyone has the luxury to attend schools and this is international problem. According to the National Center of Education about 21% of American Adults fall into illiterate category and that is around 43 million people. In the United Kingdom 16% of people are uneducated. Amish allow female education until grade 8. The illiteracy rate in India is about 30% and in Nigeria is about 35%. France banned Muslim’s females to attend schools if they wear a hijab, Netherlands and Norway do not allow women to attend schools who wear full veil. Education is an international problem and this need to change so male and female could freely have access to school.
these are the people left behind, hope she manages to survive
What an amazing example for ALL women! Nazima, you are my hero!
Thanks Eva for letting us see that it is not the Afghanistan many of us knew or heard of. Best of luck Nazima! You're an inspiration.
Nazima is a Hazara girl. Hazaras are peaceful and open minded people. Hazaras mainly live in central Afghanistan, in Bamyan and surrounding Bamyan provinces.
Nazima isn't a Hazara genius, she moved to Bamyan cause of repression and her parents fulfilled her wishes and moved to accommodate her. She's a Pashtun living in Hazara lands. One thing I can guarantee is you'll NEVER find a Hazara family living peacefully in Pashtun lands like in Paktia or Kandahar.
Seeing this brave young woman who lives in a country where skiing comes with death threats, and rebellion for equality starts with going outside or study, makes me so humble and almost ashamed of my privileged life and my complains. Thank you for this documentation! It made me cry. Womens like her change the world ❤️
Amazing story, may all women be uplifted and shine like the jewels they are ♥️💎
More power to Najima and to all the girls of Afghanistan!💙💙💙
As an Afghan American, I always believed in my people specially on laddies who are taking the risk to break the boundaries of a conservative and isolated society by hard working and dedication.
Love you all who read my comment from anywhere in the 🌎
So powerful! I ended the video crying and very emotional. Your work in this video was incredible, alternating her clips of sharing her story and struggles with the clips of you actually doing skiing. You can se how lively she looks when going out for doing sports with you guys. And then you realize how all of the hardships that she shares ends up being worth it. Beautiful work, Eva! Thank you for sharing her story with us!

Hi Eva, I'm one of your subscriber and was so amazed to saw the beauty of Afghanistan and its culture but so sad to hear the news about Afghanistan and its people right now. How's Gull, Nazima and their families, Are they safe?. They are wonderful people. Hope they escape and safe..

@Win Everything ?
@Win Everything Not every Muslim woman wears a hijab. Are Somali people this closed-minded?

Unfortunately now yes, all not as an accident thanks to those intelligent power that dominate the world!
Greetings from China!

She is a revolutionary role model for many women in the world under too many circumstances.
Wow the drone footage from the mountains, just beautiful!! And Nazima what an inspiration, you go girl!!
What an incredible story!
Wish you all the best Nazima!!! You and all Afghan girls!!
Thanks Eva for sharing this original and inspiring content with us
All my best wishes for this brave woman Nazima
Much love from Algeria 🇩🇿
Nazima's story is so inspiring. I got goosebumps when seeing her bravery and energy! Wish her and you, Eva all the best! This video is in next level!
Once again Eva you highlight the plight of the ordinary people living under oppression and my heart goes out to them No one should have their lives like this I hope and wish that one day they all can go to their real homes and live in freedom
I am so concerned about Nazima an the current Situation in Afghanistan 💔 do you know if she is safe?
I pray for all viewers of this to have a very Blesse d😇 and Joyful😊 life ahead.
I wish the same to you too, thanks a lot.
Be blessed too🙏🥰
Thank you, you as well
I have no doubts in my mind that one day all of Nazima's dreams will come true. God be with her. 🙏 Thanks Eva for sharing this amazing fighter's story.
Such a simply stunning video Eva. I love all your videos but this one was extra special. Nazima is such a beautiful girl in so many ways and is here to create ripples that will change the world. Thank you for sharing her story. I hope all her wildest travel and sports dreams come true over the coming years.
Just click the video because of Afghanistan name long live Beautiful Afghanistan ❤️ 🇦🇫🇦🇫❤️
Thanks so much for visited😍
Iam from Afghanistan Bamyan city but now I live in Finland 🇫🇮
I miss so much my city
Wow. One of the most amazing and impactful stories you have ever shared Eva. Without you, little girls all over the world would not have the chance to be inspired by Nazima's story. Without you, all of us all over the world would not have the chance to be challenged by Nazima's story to do something about the future for people on this earth who don't have the same privileges we do. Nazima's courage, drive, determination, positivity, outlook, demeanour and selflessness gives us all hope in humanity as a whole that you can never repress the soul.
Nazima and all other Afghan girls, my heart goes out to you, I pray to God that He grant you your dreams amd aspirations for a better life for women in Afghanistan...so much untapped potential for these people
Afghanistan is a Loving country. I really wish to visit there one day.
Stephanie from London
It's amazing story of Nazima! And it's a proper reminder to us (living in big cities) how much we have and how few we appreciate it.
Best wishes to Nazima and other ordinary people in Afghanistan!
Eva enjoy BAMYAN, when i was a child we always used to walk all the way to the top of that mountain, I loved it and missed those day's, i love BAMYAN and Afghanistan, thanks eva for sharing this,kisses
Thank you for the update on Nazima, hopefully her family is also safe.
This is your best story Eva. Such an inspiring Afghan lady! I’m both heart broken for her struggles and at the same time so moved by her courage!
Nazima is a real hero and thank you Eva for bringing her story. I am glad she is now safe.
That is amazing Eva. You are so lucky to experience this ski-tour in untouched nature. Beautiful. So happy for you.
Good work Nazima. Hope your brave story will bring inspiration to afghan people for a better future.
Good work to you too Eva for showing this story.
Support from Malaysia.
I hope she is good, I’m happy to hear that she not anymore in the country
Thank you for continuing to create amazing content & giving exposure & voice to others! Nazima is an incredible person.
Eva - please tell Nazima (or I hope she reads it herself) that she is an inspiration & role model for all Afghan girls 👍🏻 Her spirit is amazing 👌🏻
Shame on all such barbaric, backward ideologies & groups who seek to imprison & enslave women & deny them education & sports & basic rights of a human being.
All the best Nazima 😊💐
Nazima is truly inspirational and very brave too. Thanks for telling her story. She deserves every success.
I love her and I’m inspired by her beyond words can express. Sending her lots of love 🇮🇷❤️🇦🇫
thank you so so so much Eva for bringing these stories to us
Just donated and shared the video and fundraising page with others. All girls and women deserve to live their lives in freedom and explore every opportunity.
