15 days left until the #Chevening deadline & AFG’s status remains closed. For Afghans, education is a lifeline & a beacon of hope in a country shattered by hardship. @CheveningFCDO is shutting out dreams & futures that desperately need a chance to rise.
#OpenCheveningForAFG
1124 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. It is the only country in the world with such restrictions on girls’ access to secondary school and women’s access to university. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
Have the youth, specifically girls who are denied their right to access education, been forgotten by all global platforms?
Still waiting to hear from @CheveningFCDO and @FCDOGovUK about their decision to open applications for Afghanistan.
#ResumeCheveningForAfghanistan
It's disheartening that the Chevening Scholarship remains closed to Afghanistan, especially at a time when education is critical for our country’s future given that girls are literally barred from higher education.
#ResumeCheveningForAfghanistan
With Afghan girls being denied schooling, the need for programs like Chevening is crucial. As the deadline nears with no updates, Afghan talent faces even greater barriers. Education is a right—let’s reopen this pathway.

The UK has a history of hosting leaders who will one day return to serve and of allowing them to keep a flame alive. That is why Chevening's absence from Afghanistan feels like a setback for development.
Thank you @Helen_Packer and @timeshighered@CheveningFCDO
🔴Breaking: Flash floods ravage #Afghanistan, killing more than 300 people in Baghlan and destroying more than 1000 houses.
This has been one of many floods over the last few weeks, due to unusually heavy rainfall. WFP is now distributing fortified biscuits to the survivors.
Recent floods in #Afghanistan including #Baghlan which claimed many lives, are a stark reminder of Afghanistan’s vulnerability to the #climatecrisis & both immediate aid and long term planning by the #Taliban & internat actors are needed. Condolences to the families of vicitims.
While there isn't a single prescription for crafting successful Chevening essays, using the START method can be quite beneficial. I recommend familiarizing yourself with it before writing your essays.

This is an important and alarming step beyond the extraordinary level of cruelty the Taliban already engage in by denying girls and women education. This is holding them prisoner to prevent others from helping them study.
Today marks the 700 days of desolation and violation of fundamental rights to education for Afghan girls by the Taliban. My daughter Hina counts the days and asks the simple question from the world.

“the authorities banned access of women & girls to parks, gyms & public baths and, on 21 Dec, they announced the immediate suspension of women from universities. Three days later, on 24 Dec, women were barred from working for domestic and international NGOs” #letafgangirlslearn
