As reports of a Taliban takeover grew, Allyson Reneau had an overwhelming feeling the girls robotics team might be in danger. On Aug. 9, she decided to fly to Qatar herself.
who graduated from Harvard in 2016 with a masters in international relations and U.S. space policy, could not stop thinking about the girls when the Taliban began to take over the country., when the girls attended the 2019 Human to Mars conference. Reneau has kept in touch with the girls over the years, and as reports of a Taliban takeover grew, she had an overwhelming feeling the team of girls might be in danger.
"I remembered my former roommate in D.C. a couple of years ago was transferred to Qatar," Reneau explained."She said she worked in the U.S. Embassy in Qatar... she was sure her boss would approve helping the girls." Reneau and her former roommate attempted the necessary paperwork to get the girls out. It is unclear how much their efforts helped, but Reneau is relieved to know 10 of the girls are now safe. The U.S. State Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the effort."We appreciate this and hope it translates to long-term commitment to girls' education," Brown said."This is the most effective way to guarantee their safety and a better future for everyone.
