Talk about the Afghan women. They are still fighting. https://t.co/5EqSZx1vSt

[Fatima Ayoubi 🇦🇫🕊 @FatimaAyoubi005]

From classrooms and dreams in the 1970s to fighting for basic rights in 2026, Afghan women carry both the pain of history and the strength of survival. 🇦🇫💔

To watch the systematic suffering and erasure of women in Afghanistan without feeling compelled to care should force us to question what indifference has done to our humanity.

Afghan women are not silent.
They have not given up.

Even in darkness, they are learning, resisting, and rising.

Listen. Stand with them.
Make their voices impossible to ignore.

Noria is only 13. For three years, extreme poverty forced her to dress as a boy so she could work and support her family. Poverty forced her to grow up too soon bt Taliban response was arrest, violence & expulsion not protection. This is what cruelty looks like 💔😭

[Jahanzib Wesa @jahanzibwesa]

The situation for women in Afghanistan remains dire. The Taliban governor of Khost compared women leaving their homes to wandering donkeys, exposing his mindset. History will remember these cruel words, just as it recorded the silence of Afghan oppressed women.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

The Taliban are planning to ban social media in Afghanistan. Users report Instagram is already down in some provinces.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

If you are a woman in Afghanistan with a toothache, you can’t get treated. The Taliban banned dentists from treating women after shutting dental schools for females. The ban is already enforced in Kandahar.

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

Women and girls are not pulled out of Afghanistan earthquake rubble because men won’t touch them.
Afghan women cant be doctor and cant go to male doctor and Afghan women dont have rights to learn.
What are these meassges to world?

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

Afghan women are not giving up but they are running out of options.
The world must act now, before the last light of hope is extinguished.
Please share and talk 💔

[Jahanzib Wesa @jahanzibwesa]

Taliban counts on your silence. Afghan women and girls live online, their voices, their stories, their lives. If we scroll past, the world may never see them again. Every share, every click, is a lifeline. The world must witness their courage & erasure. Don’t let them disappear.

[Maya Noor @MaayaaNoor]

many girls in Afghanistan were secretly learning online. Now, the Taliban cut the internet, and I can no longer teach them.These girls bravely strived for knowledge,but their right to education has been taken.When girls are denied learning, society’s future is at risk.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

The Taliban counts on you scrolling past.

Don’t.

Our last connection to Afghan women and girls is the internet. If it’s cut, they vanish from the world’s view.

Don’t allow erasure. Don’t allow gender apartheid.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

I am terrified for Afghan women and girls tonight.

For years, my work has been covert access to healthcare, education, and information through mobile phones.

If the Taliban cuts internet access, they lose their last lifeline. Total silence. Total erasure.

[WDI.Afghanistan @WDIAfghanistan1]

"By blocking women from becoming doctors and banning them from seeing male doctors, the Taliban are basically telling Afghan women to suffer and die without healthcare."
Afghan women are enslaved. Treated worse than animals. No society can function like this.
@UN_Women speak up!

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

The Taliban have outlawed all books written by women in Afghanistan. Already banned from school, sports, and work, Afghan women now see even their voices on paper branded as unislamic.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

Dozens of girls across Afghanistan are reaching out to me tonight.

The Taliban has shut down the internet in 5 provinces that I’ve heard of so far. I’m still figuring out how widespread this is.

This is a crisis. We are about to be disconnected from thousands of women!

[Jahanzib Wesa @jahanzibwesa]

WHO urges Taliban to lift restrictions on Afghan female aid workers after quake killed 2,200. With 90% of medical staff male, women fear seeking care. WHO says female health workers are urgently needed to save lives. Denying them risks more preventable deaths. #Afghanistan
