Afghan women around the world are sharing images of themselves wearing traditional clothing under the hashtag #DoNotTouchMyClothes.

The campaign is a response to the Taliban’s new dress code for female students in Afghanistan ⤵️

Here’s a list I’ve compiled of some of the tweets I’ve come across on how you can support Afghans 👇🏼

@KriseKarro Takk for at du orker å dele, Karoline! Du er tøff. Håper denne dagen blir full av oppturer og hyggelige kommentarer 😊

[Maja Olsen @MajaEVOlsen]

@KriseKarro Så vondt å høre at å henge noen timer i byen kan føre med seg så mye dritt… Sånn skal det ikke være, og jeg skjønner at det er frustrerende å høre snakk om at vi er i m��l, når vi fortsatt er langt unna et samfunn som er trygt og inkluderende for alle. Men vi skal komme dit! ❤️🌈

@M0mTh0ughts @HarperCollins Yes! I’ve read it several times and always cry towards the end. Such a lovely book.

@detvarvondtdet Vondt å lese! Håper virkelig de kommer til rette i god behold❤️❤️🤞🤞

@Sonic_Screwup @Pixieliss1 @NickMDuffy I too love Harry Potter (although the author not so much anymore), but I must admit I got very disappointed when I started reading Ursula Le Guin’s work and discovered where the idea of a young wizard going to a school of wizardry comes from.

@PM_Jordan So many to choose from, but I’d also have to go with The Lottery by Shirley Jackson.

Jeg har hatt dobbelt statsborgerskap hele mitt liv og har aldri kjent meg mindre norsk eller lojal til Norge av den grunn. Gratulerer til alle som nå får samme mulighet etter et flott stortingsvedtak i dag

[Maja Olsen @MajaEVOlsen]

@AnthonyLWolf Oh wow, I'm flattered! Thank you :-)

[Maja Olsen @MajaEVOlsen]

So, since last time I tweeted, I've moved to Oslo and become a UX writer working with chatbots. Who would've thought that studying creative writing could lead you to IT?

[Maja Olsen @MajaEVOlsen]

@PaperTickler Hah, indeed! Not to mention how ideal Norwegian winter is when writing about cold and darkness ;-)
