1187 days since the Taliban banned teenage girls from school. 727 days since the Taliban banned women from going to university. Education is not a privilege, it is a basic human right and Afghan women and girls continue to be denied this. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
On #HumanRightsDay I honour the resilient & courageous #Afghans who continue to demand #OurRightsOurFuture right now; confronting gender persecution, shrinking civic space, torture & ill treatment, marginalised minorities, humanitarian crisis, and more. Let’s all stand by them!
Life for women in #Afghanistan is already like prison. The Taliban’s suspension of women’s health education not only denies basic healthcare & education, it condemns countless lives. By banning midwifery education, the Taliban are literally erasing Afghanistan’s future.
Imagine--you win a big journalism award for your courageous work documenting Taliban abuses. And in fact your work is so dangerous that you can't appear, your face can't be shown, your name can't be disclosed, and even your voice can't be heard.
Fund Afghan women's media!
Emotional footage from Afghanistan shows Afghan female medical students and their instructor in tears, consoling each other after the Taliban banned them from continuing their studies. The new directive shuts women out of medicine—the last field still open to them.
Today #IDPWD2024 I stand with the millions of Afghans living with disabilities and call for local & global action to protect their rights and ensure their voices are heard. Let’s advocate for inclusion, dignity, and equal opportunities for all #Afghanistan#disabilityrights
A bleak reminder of the dire situation for Afghan women and girls. The latest Taliban crackdown? Reportedly suspending women from midwife and nurse training. This would effectively cut off a woman’s last route to further education in the country. It is a vital role as male medics are not allowed to treat a woman unless a male guardian is present. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

"Winning the International Children’s Peace Prize will mean that the voices of Afghan women and girls will echo across the world. We must all continue to give them strength and hope in the darkest of times.”:
