In May 2021, I interviewed many Hazara families who had lost their daughters in the attack on Sayedulshuhada high school.Although they were in deep grief for the loss of their loved ones, none of them wanted to stop their other children from attending school. #StopHazaraGenocide
The Taliban has banned women and girls from attending universities and most high schools, leaving women with almost no way to pursue an education past the sixth grade.
With @POTUS's decision to withdraw American troops from Afghanistan, let's be clear, 48% of Afghanistan is female and this is too large number to deny access to education or participation in the workforce or not have a voice in peace negotiations.
We are excited to welcome 10 new members of @AfghanDreamers that arrived in Qatar from Kabul. They received scholarship from @qatar_fund to continue their education. I’d like to thank QFFD & Excellency @Lolwah_Alkhater for providing us with this precious educational opportunity.
We are very excited to announce our strategic partnership with the Qatar Fund For Development @qatar_fund to provide access to quality #education for the @Afghandreamers, to continue their education moving forward in the USA and Qatar. We are really grateful for this opportunity.
I'll remember Dublin as a city of warmth and generosity, and as a place where you don't need to explain how important it is to protect culture from imperialism. Olesya Zdorovetska, @aoife_tunney, @_UICP & @CEDCultureIE, a huge thank you for organising the fundraiser for Ukraine!
‘My two-year-old daughter was the happiest child in the bomb shelter playing with so many dogs & cats there... Hopefully, her generation will regain the sense of safety we lost’. A wonderful evening with Kateryna @babkina moderated by @sasha_weirdsley & hosted by @Ukr_Institute.
Such a warm evening! Hearing @DrHenryMarsh speak about his work in Ukraine is so inspirational. Thank you all who came to @Ukr_Institute's fundraiser! Do read Henry's new book: https://t.co/o9oyoe9CYi @PenguinUKBooks and support Ukraine!🇺🇦

We’re in #NewZealand - mixed reaction here to #JacindaAdern resigning -a decision that’s shocked both her supporters and critics. Earlier today PM said she was “relieved”. Some have told me they’re glad she’s going. Others acknowledged how much she’ll be missed. #JacindaResigns
