Afghanistan risks losing more than 25,000 women teachers and health workers by 2030 if restrictions on girls’ education and women’s employment continue, warns @UNICEF.

More than one million girls have already been denied their right to learn.

On #InternationalWomensDay Australia stands in support of Afghan women and girls - including those serving their communities in the most challenging circumstances.

Women’s full, safe and meaningful participation is indispensable for Afghanistan’s future.

Today marks 6 months since Afghan women staff were barred from UN premises.

They continue serving the Afghan people, despite these unprecedented constraints. But the longer this goes on, the greater the risk to life-saving services. Assistance must be delivered by women, to women.

My report to #HRC61 is an in-depth review of right to health for women&girls in #Afghanistan. Taliban restrictions on women, esp. freedom of movem’t & right to educ, may amount to int’l crimes & must be reversed. The int’l community also bears resp. Not to leave Afg women behind.

Ramadan Mubarak!

Generations of Muslim Australians have enriched our country, and tonight we celebrated with the community in Dandenong.

Over the month ahead, may your faith sustain and comfort you, and may it surround you with the love and nurture of others.

In #Afghanistan, we mark #WomenInScience day with sorrow: 1,607 days since girls over 12 were banned from school. Over four years of lost opportunity and a bleak future without women and girls in any critical sector. We reiterate our call on the DFA to reverse the ban.

[Senator Penny Wong @SenatorWong]

This announcement builds on the Albanese Government’s listing of the IRGC as a state sponsor of terrorism and our sanctions on more than 200 Iranian individuals and entities.

Australia stands with the people of Iran.

Today, on #EducationDay with the Taliban excluding millions of #Afghan girls&women from education, I’m reminded of the impact this has not just on their lives but on the future of the country. All children&youth must be able to access quality schooling & higher education, always.
