I mean that's really awesome, but sucks for all the non sporty women that will be subject to the Taliban.

    It's several hundred people who won't have to suffer the abuses of the taliban.

    Hopefully it can serve as an inspiration for other groups and organizations to help more people escape from under the taliban's heel.
