Parvana Character Study Poster
A girl taking responsibility
Parvana is a young girl living in Kabul, Afghanistan, during a time when the Taliban restricts many people’s freedoms. After her father is arrested, the family has little money and Parvana’s mother and older sister face serious limits on going outdoors. The family needs someone to earn money and buy supplies. Parvana cuts her hair and dresses as a boy so she can leave the house more safely. She works in the market, carrying out errands and helping her family survive. The disguise gives her access to opportunities denied to girls, but it also brings risks: she must keep her secret and manage unfamiliar tasks. Parvana misses her father and worries about her family. Even so, she keeps going. She uses her literacy to read and write letters for people in the market, and she finds ways to help others as well as herself. Her actions show courage, but they also reveal how much pressure has been placed on a child. Parvana is resourceful and determined; she is not fearless or unaffected by hardship. Her story invites readers to consider how unfair rules shape people’s choices and how ordinary acts of care can become courageous.
