The Purple Saturdays Movement: Rallying for Women’s Unity in Afghanistan
In the face of ongoing oppression Taliban group, the Purple Saturdays movement has emerged as a powerful voice for the women of Afghanistan, calling for national unity under the rallying cry: “We support the women of Afghanistan.” This initiative seeks to unite women from all walks of life to stand against the Taliban and their restrictive ideologies.
A Call for Solidarity
The Purple Saturdays movement emphasizes the importance of collective action among Afghanistan women. By harnessing the strength of unity, the movement aims to create a formidable front against the Taliban’s oppressive regime. The call for solidarity is not just about support; it’s about fostering a sense of shared purpose and resilience in the fight for basic human rights.
The Impact of Taliban Rule
Under Taliban rule, Afghanistan women have faced severe restrictions on their rights and freedoms. From bans on education and employment to the denial of fundamental liberties, the regime’s policies have dismantled decades of progress. The Purple Saturdays movement stands in stark opposition to these oppressive measures, advocating for a future where women can fully participate in society.
Building a Stronger Resistance
By galvanizing support through social media and community outreach, the Purple Saturdays movement aims to raise awareness both domestically and internationally. The hashtag “We support the women of Afghanistan” serves as a tool for spreading messages of hope, resilience, and solidarity. This digital activism is crucial in drawing attention to the plight of Afghan women and the urgent need for change.
A Vision for the Future
The movement envisions a future where Afghan women can reclaim their rights and freedoms. Through education, empowerment, and solidarity, they strive to build a society free from fear and oppression. This struggle is not just about resisting the Taliban; it’s about redefining the narrative for Afghanistan women and ensuring their voices are heard.

In America you are lucky if someone holds the door for you. My pregnant wife was treated like a queen by polish gentleman the entire time. From carrying groceries, holding doors, giving up seats to her, offering her a seat and glass of water during the summer, insisting she cuts the line and doesn’t stand. Americans are morally bankrupt in comparison. #poland #polska
“Schools are for girls. Men are only destroying everything,” says this little Afghan girl. It has been 1,143 days since teenage girls were banned from school, and Afghanistan remains the only country where girls’ education is illegal. #LetHerLearn
Defiance is the heart of courage. The fire that burns bright to stand against all odds and dangerous alone in the face of tyranny, ripping off the layers that enslave her. She stands tall when most would crumble in fear, awakening the spirit of many, to turn fear into action and silence into resistance.
▶️The Regime cyber army is already out judging her, spreading their propaganda and lies to call her “insane” failing to smear her bravery with evil slander.
▶️Freedom fighters are reposting her story and calling to be her voice
▶️The western media is blind.
▶️The human rights Organisation, women’s advocates and democratic nations are mute.
Background:
Today an unidentified female university student in Tehran was assaulted by Basij forces (paramilitary regime thugs), who teared her clothes because of “improper hijab”. In response she ripped off her clothes and stood beautifully, mighty, and tall. According to reports she was taken into a van by regime forces.
The most important question: Where is she????
Don’t judge, be her voice! Protect our heroes. Use the hashtag:

Afghan girls “Education is Our Right”
It has been 1,142 days since Taliban banned Afghan girls from attending school, denying them their right to education. Despite this, women have bravely raised their voices for their rights & continue to sing & express themselves to this day.
Dlaczego historia uśmiercenia wiewiórki imieniem „Peanut” jest obecnie największym viralem finiszu kampanii prezydenckiej w nuklearnym supermocarstwie?
Ponieważ jak w soczewce skupia wszystkie problemy wynikające z istnienia przerośniętego, nadaktywnego państwa.
Jaka chora reguła lub absurdalnie idiotyczny przepis doprowadził do tego, że kilkunastu funkcjonariuszy otrzymało NAKAZ PRZESZUKANIA domu celem złapania i uśpienia „najpopularniejszej wiewiórki na świecie” która, po tym jak została odratowana po śmierci jej mamy, i tak nie była w stanie żyć sama na wolności, a w swoim nowym domu mieszkała od lat? Nie mam pojęcia.
Faktem jest jednak to, że biurokratyczno-policyjna machina zadziałała dokładnie tak jak można się było tego spodziewać. Z całą mocą państwa uderzyła na dom niewinnych, nie karanych ludzi na których nigdy wcześniej nie złożono nawet skargi.
Parę właścicieli wiewiórki przetrzymywano poza ich domem przez 5 godzin. Uniemożliwiono im samodzielne korzystanie z toalety. Kobietę przesłuchiwano na okoliczność dokumentów imigracyjnych. A ostatecznie złapano i zabito ich ukochane zwierzątka.
Każdy normalny, zdrowy psychicznie człowiek conajmniej w kilku momentach całej operacjo zadałby sobie pytanie: „Co ja do cholery właściwie robię. Dlaczego ja i kilkunastu innych, uzbrojonych ziomków gonimy po domu jakiegoś chłopa za nieszkodliwą, oswojoną wiewiórką. Dlaczego jej właścicieli traktujemy tak jak traktuje się groźnych przestępców!?”
Ale państwo to nie jest organizacja budowana przez zdrowych psychicznie ludzi. Państwo to monopol na przemoc. A monopolista w dziedzinie „produkcji” przemocy musi wymagać od swoich żołnierzy bezrefleksyjnego i całkowitego posłuszeństwa - nawet jeżeli publicznie twierdzi inaczej. Parametryzacja procedur związanych ze stanowieniem i egzekucją prawa minimalizuje szanse na refleksję racjonalnych jednostek.
„Dura lex sed lex” - najczęściej wobec słabych, biednych i jak się okazuje, szczególnie wiewiórek…
Kluczowy problem jakiego nie chcą zaakceptować notoryczni poprawiacze cudzych żyć to nieelastyczność reguł i zasad jakie wprowadza państwo. To dobrze opisane chociażby przez Szkołę Wyboru Publicznego tendencje polityków i urzędników do wykorzystywania systemu dla własnych korzyści, a nie dobra tych których ma on chronić. To wreszcie niezdolność do ujęcia żadną regułą przypadków nieostrych, nieoczywistych czy krańcowych w których nawet motywowana najlepszymi intencjami regulacja zamienia się często w narzędzie łamiącej życie tyranii.
Ktoś może powiedzieć „O.K. Stary, dużo szumu o wiewiórkę. Zjedz orzecha.” Ale jeżeli żyjesz w kraju w którym bez zapowiedzi do Twoich drzwi może zapukać kilkunastu uzbrojonych facetów tylko po to żeby zabrać i zabić Twoje zwierzątko domowe to naprawdę nie musisz być libertarianinem, żeby załapać, że coś jest tu poważnie nie tak.
In #Teheran wurde eine Studentin von der iran."Sittenpolizei" wegen ihres Kopftuchs angegriffen. Während des Übergriffs riss ihre Kleidung, woraufhin sie den Rest ablegte, im Wissen, dass dies ihr Leben kosten könnte.
Kurz darauf wurde sie gewaltsam mitgenommen.

My house in Poland has a broken hot water heater that will take a few days to replace. My wife and kids went to a local hotel just to take a warm bath. After making small talk with the hotel staff and mentioning this, they cut the price to a quarter of the original price. This compassion normally doesn’t exist in America; these are the benefits of a homogeneous society. #poland #polska
