UNAMA alarmed by Arrests of Women in Herat #Afghanistan and Excessive Use of Force Against Protestors.
Full statement (in English, Dari, Pashto):

#Afghanistan/#Pakistan: We call for investigations & accountability for last night’s tragic blast at a drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul, that left scores of patients dead. All parties must take effective measures to ensure the protection of civilians.

Tonight in Kabul, hope was extinguished at a hospital. Young men seeking treatment were murdered in a bombing by the Pakistani military regime. Mothers waited at the gates, calling their sons’ names. On the 28th night of Ramadan, their lives were cut short.
Nearly 8 out of 10 young Afghan women are excluded from education, jobs & training.
Latest update from @UN_Women shows that women & girls in Afghanistan are falling significantly behind global standards for human development.

On this Women’s Day, remember the women in Afghanistan living under the most misogynistic regime on earth. Barred from schools, universities, most jobs, politics, parks, sports, arts, music, travel without a male guardian, and public life.
On this International Women’s Day, we reaffirm Canada’s commitment to advancing the rights, equality and access to justice of women and girls around the world. Because women’s rights are human rights. #IWD#GenderEquality https://t.co/iVvtP9bsvy
“Afghanistan’s women and girls face extreme gender-based discrimination and oppression that amounts to persecution.
The system of segregation is reminiscent of apartheid, based on gender rather than race.”
— @UNHumanRights chief @volker_turk

Afghanistan releases 3 captured Pakistani soldiers as a gesture of goodwill in Ramadan, Pakistan reciprocates by bombing civilians & killing 19 members of a single family in Nangarhar, including a one-year-old child.
We are dealing with Zionists here.
Canada’s flag is recognized around the world as a symbol for democracy and freedom. As we celebrate the 61st anniversary of our national flag, we are reminded of the values that unite us as Canadians: democracy, diversity, resilience and opportunity. Today and everyday.

Update: Maya the beautiful little warrior from Tumbler Ridge has started attempting to initiate her own breaths, which is amazing!
The nurse has also noted a slight dilation in her eye.
Maya seems to be heading in the right direction in her recovery.
Please Keep Praying ❤️🙏🏻
What we do for each other, what we receive from each other. Open hearts when the world falls apart. This is grace.
Tumbler Ridge is full of grace tonight.
