Skateistan’s story is HER STORY #skateboard #afghanistan #respect #skateboarding #skateistan #All across the world, girls are faced with fewer freedoms and more restrictions. “Her Story” is the inspiring animation about an Afghan girl empowered through skateboarding and education. A lot of our students first time seeing a skateboard is through our skate schools, what was yours and what made you start skating? Based on the real life of a Skateistan student in Kabul, Afghanistan, the animation showcases the impact Skateistan’s programs have on the lives of children. Our Back-to-School (BTS) program supports children who are out of school to provide education and safe spaces for boys and girls.
