Education activist, @matiullahwesa has been arrested by the Taliban. Matiullah has been tirelessly advocating across Afghanistan, often in the most remote communities, for girls to be allowed to return to school and for the ban on their education to be lifted.
Protection of nature should not be done out of sympathy or mercy, nature should have rights which should be respected the way human rights are respected.

Happy International Day of the Girl. Celebrating girls' education today and looking after the planet - one girl at a time, one garden at a time! #socent#impinv#soilnotoil Also, congratulations to recent initiatives and milestones at @OneGirl@educategirls
Every time an Indian girl is told that she is too ambitious, that "settling down" means marriage and children, and that her aspirations are limited by her age, background and gender... there is a #HimaDas to remind us of what we can be.
Jai Ho!
