Dr. Habiba Sarābi (Dari: حبیبه سرابی) (born 1956) is a hematologist, politician, and reformer of the reconstruction of Afghanistan after the Taliban first took power.

[5] The province has historically been a source of Buddhist culture and was the location of the Buddhas of Bamiyan, the two ancient statues destroyed by the Taliban before the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.

However, Bamiyan remains one of the poorest and most under-developed provinces of Afghanistan, with a litany of problems including high rates of illiteracy and poverty.

[citation needed] In 2008 Time magazine included her in its list of Heroes of the Environment, partly for her work in establishing the Band-e Amir National Park of Afghanistan in Bamiyan.

[8] On 8 March 2018, International Women's Day, she delivered a statement to the UN Security Council[9] during the Open Debate on the United Nations Mission in Afghanistan.
