The world is watching Afghan women lose their freedom, their voices, and their futures simply for being born women.
An entire generation of girls is growing up learning that their dreams may never belong to them.
Over 400 people have been killed by Pakistan tonight. These criminals-each and every one of them-is a criminal. How many more have to die before anyone speaks up? This silence is unacceptable. How many more deaths will it take before people finally say enough is enough?
Pakistan carried out brutal airstrikes today, killing more than 400 civilians. Innocent people have once again become victims of violence. These attacks must stop. Where are human rights when innocent people are being killed?
در روز جهانی امید، بخش حقوق بشر سازمان ملل متحد و نهاد High Note Global Initiative، جایزه جهانی هاینوت را به آهنگ «ما به امید باور داریم» اهدا کردند.
این آهنگ، به خوانندگی آریانا سعید و همکاری جف بیل و جون بیل، با الهام از زندگی واقعی دختران روباتساز افغانستان ساخته شده است؛ دخترانی که با وجود محدودیتها، نام افغانستان را در سطح بینالمللی مطرح کردند.
آریانا سعید که از چهرههای برجسته و مبارز حقوق زنان در افغانستان است، میگوید این آهنگ روایت صدای زنانیست که صدایشان خاموش شده است و اکنون در صحنه جهانی شنیده میشوند.

The darkness of the Taliban’s cruel restrictions has cast a black, heavy shadow over little Mahtab’s life.
She is one of 160 million child laborers in the world, running from dawn to dusk in one of Afghanistan’s major cities, straining her voice to sell five-Afghani gum in order to afford the medicine that cost thousand Afghani for her suffering mother.
The clock shows 7:10 in the morning, and I find Mahtabi in a corner of Herat city, hidden deep in sorrow and grief. A sorrow that bends the strong shoulders of adults and weakens the sturdy arms of the youth.
The pain of not having money for her mother’s treatment, who lies ill at home, on one side, and the lack of a breadwinner, being an orphan, the empty table, and the sorrow of her two little sisters' hungry stomachs on the other, all weigh heavily on this child laborer's small shoulders.

Special Interview with Mahbouba Seraj: Violence against Women in Afghanistan
Mahbouba Seraj, women's rights defender, says about the role of the international community in reducing the level of violence against women in Afghanistan: "The international community is now preoccupied with its own problems and this issue must be resolved by the people of Afghanistan themselves." She believes that the only help that the international community can provide in the field of reducing violence against women in Afghanistan is "financial support." According to her, with this support, the country can be saved from poverty because poverty is one of the main factors in the increase of violence against women."

Protest at the Grave of Hura Sadat in Connection with Mysterious Killings of Women and Girls in Afghanistan
Zan News - Kabul: A group of women, in response to the deliberate and systematic killings of women and girls in Afghanistan, have staged a protest at the grave of Hura Sadat, a well-known YouTuber, accusing the Taliban of being responsible for such killings.
Members of the Strong Women's Movement of Afghanistan, on Sunday (August 26), released a statement and videos of their protest, demanding an end to the crimes of the Taliban and the prevention of further victimization of the Afghan people, especially women and girls.
The statement highlights that during the two years of the Taliban's rule in Afghanistan, women have not only been deprived of political, economic, social, and cultural activities, but have also faced insults, humiliation, torture, sexual assault, and secretive and targeted killings by this group.
According to the statement, over the past two years, dozens of women who were previously engaged in social and political activities have been mysteriously and purposefully killed by the Taliban, and the responsibility for these murders has been attributed by the Taliban to unknown individuals.
The Strong Women's Movement of Afghanistan stated that the Taliban continue to attempt to conceal their crimes, but these atrocities cannot remain hidden. According to their statement, "Recently, a well-known female YouTuber named Hura Sadat was mysteriously murdered in the 18th district of Kabul, and the Taliban, in the absence of her family members, bury her body in a hidden manner. Currently, the grave of Hura Sadat is closely monitored by individuals affiliated with the Taliban."
It's worth noting that in the latest case, Hura Sadat, a female YouTuber, was mysteriously killed in the 18th district of Kabul last week. Her murder has sparked widespread protests, and some civil and media activists have attributed the secretive killings to the Taliban. However, the spokesperson for the Kabul Security Command of the Taliban has stated that three individuals have been arrested in connection with this incident, and investigations are ongoing.
Nevertheless, the Strong Women's Movement of Afghanistan has found the recent report by the United Nations Assistance Mission in Kabul about the killing of 218 former government security personnel to be distressing and alarming. They emphasized that the number of security personnel killed is more than double the official figures.
This movement has also urged the global community and the United Nations to engage with the Taliban as a terrorist group and never recognize them as a legitimate government. They have also called on countries and human rights organizations to seek accountability for the Taliban through the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

I spent my first months as an Afghan refugee in a New York homeless shelter with my mother and brother.
Now, I'm back in New York, but this time as a tech startup founder, studying at @Columbia.
Education is the fundamental right of every Afghan girl. Give them the chance to learn and they'll reach heights beyond imagination. I'm a testament to that.
I was honored to share my journey at the @ColumbiaGS Scholarship Gala. Incredibly grateful to be a part of this amazing community.
Thank you for having me.

Street #protest of women in #Kabul in response to the position of the United Nations to recognize the Taliban!
#Afghanistan women's protest movements in Kabul today (April 29) have held a street protest in response to the statement of the deputy secretary general of the organization regarding the recognition of the Taliban and the #Doha meeting that is scheduled to be held with the presence of the UN secretary general and special representatives of several countries for Afghanistan.
In the resolution they published at the same time as their protest, these women say that the world knows that the Taliban have taken women's rights hostage in Afghanistan in order to make a deal with the international community to gain legitimacy.
In this resolution addressed to the international community and the United Nations, it is stated: "The recognition of Taliban rule is the recognition of terrorism.The way of interaction should always be open, but interaction is not a "deal". Do not dealing the fate of 30 million people."
According to this resolution, the Taliban is not worthy to be recognized and placed in the position of the government and the representative of the people of Afghanistan.
In this resolution, it is warned that if the Taliban is recognized by the United Nations, any case of human rights violations in Afghanistan and the subsequent issue of terrorism in Afghanistan, the United Nations and the countries supporting the Taliban will be responsible.
Amina Mohammed, the Deputy Secretary General of the United Nations, said in her recent statement at Princeton University in the US Recognizing the Taliban will help this group to be responsible. She also said that a meeting is scheduled to be held in Doha, Qatar, on May 1, with the presence of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and countries special representatives for Afghanistan, to discuss the possibility of recognizing the Taliban.
