🔴 Day 1,809 since the Taliban closed secondary schools to Afghan girls.

Strong, independent women make a society. Afghanistan will suffer from their ongoing exclusion from public life.

You are not forgotten.

As of yesterday, girls between grades 4 and 6 (plus teachers) have to wear hand gloves and the niqab (the form of covering that only allows for eyes to be shown)

I’ve said time and time again, it’s only a matter of time before a decree bans women and girls from public life.

Horrifying scenes in Afghanistan - the Taliban opened fire at a protest against the arrest of women for dress code violations. Footage shows shots being fired and men beating protesters in the city of Herat. Two people were reportedly killed at the protest but Taliban police in Herat denied there were any deaths.

Today, Muslims across Canada celebrate the start of Eid al-Adha, a celebration of generosity, compassion, and service — values at the heart of building a stronger, more prosperous future for all.

To all those celebrating, Eid Mubarak.

48 countries. The biggest World Cup in history.

Canada is ready to welcome the world.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶

The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.

Canada is a nation of explorers, builders, and innovators. Today Colonel Jeremy Hansen carries that legacy forward as he becomes first Canadian to venture to the Moon.

Eid Mubarak to all! 🌙 I hope you have a very special day with your family and loved ones. Wishing you all peace and happiness.

Almost 5 years since the Taliban takeover.

No school for girls. No work for women. UN-funded domestic violence shelters are all banned, and replaced with prisons. Reading books in public are banned for women. Nursing schools are banned.

Doesn’t seem very productive.

We’re buying Canadian, and we’re building Canadian.

22-year-old Afghan woman, Khadija Ahmadzada has now been released from a Taliban prison after 13 days.

Her crime? Teaching girls taekwondo.

Women and girls in Afghanistan continue to be banned from sports by the Taliban.

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

In an era of great power rivalry, Canada is choosing to be principled and pragmatic. To name reality, to act together, and to build what we claim to believe in.

[Yalda Hakim @SkyYaldaHakim]

Khadija Ahmadzada, 22, was arrested by the Taliban’s morality police in the past week after secretly teaching girls taekwondo.

The exact reason for her arrest is unclear.

The Taliban has banned sports for women and girls in Afghanistan.

Grateful to have been part of the @EconomyUrban ‘s 7th Annual Summit earlier this year, where we discussed housing finance not just as a technical issue, but as a social one. Housing affordability isn’t abstract. It’s lived.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

“When you have peace, everything is possible.”

Tumaini has fled conflict in eastern DR Congo again and again only to return home to find everything destroyed.

She now has to rebuild once more for her family, but the challenges are immense with funding running low.

[UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @Refugees]

For Najiba. For Sabzagul. For Arash.

For the millions of children in Afghanistan and beyond who shouldn’t have to worry about the dangers of a cold winter.

You can help us keep them safe and warm.
