Now host a round table on implementing the FWS judgment. You can invite women who stand up for human rights and win in court, not men like Wadhwa who are censured by judges for destroying the human rights of women.

Those who want to ban “conversion practices” in the Council of Europe are playing on people’s memories of the horrors of gay conversion “therapy”.

What they are really trying to ban is talk therapy. Their deceptive language is a vile tactic. https://t.co/6vh0xiVlYx

[Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuth]

If you care about the lives of lesbian, gay, and bisexual teens - or about any children distressed by the turbulence of puberty - please oppose all attempts to enact a “trans-inclusive ban on conversion practices.”

These proposals are deliberately phrased in language that evokes the cruel and outrageous medical abuse of decades ago that was inflicted on gay people in an attempt to turn them straight.

But the proposed ban has nothing to do with those practices - which have long been illegal. It is about stopping parents, teachers - even therapists - questioning a girl who says she is a boy. (Or vice versa). A ban would deter everyone from helping the child or young adult to explore what is going on. It would have the effect of intimidating people and enforcing the “affirmative” approach, for fear of prosecution. Yes - prosecution.

Instead of asking how she concluded she is a boy, what she has been following on social media, if someone at school has persuaded her she is a boy, everyone would be forced to say “Ok you’re a boy now”. Everyone!

I am furious that activists are manipulating politicians to nod through terrible, terrible legislation that will hurt so many lesbian, gay and bisexual - and other “gender non-conforming” - teens and young adults.

Ideologically obsessed MPs like @KateOsborneMP are trying to push through this pernicious legislation in the UK and now throughout the Council of Europe.

So many people assume it’s about banning something awful.
It’s quite the opposite.

Please re-post this explanation on other platforms and channels.

Neda lives in Afghanistan and is 11. School has stopped for her as it has for all girls but she is educating herself online, mostly in English. She comes to my poetry class. She has grand plans.

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

This was once Afghanistan, a woman without a burqa, standing before a blackboard, teaching children. Today, on World Teachers’ Day, this is unthinkable. Thousands like her are forced to stay home since the Taliban banned education for females.

I put Rachel in my book because hers was one of the worst cancellations I've seen. her crime was writing a book telling kids to be comfortable in their bodies. For this, trans cultists @ClaraVulliamy @Joannechocolat and many others in children's publishing tried to destroy her reputation and career. I urge everyone to make Granny's Flag a Christmas bestseller. Cancellations only succeed when we let them happen.

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.

Breaking news:- I tell you very clear this is the end of line for . afghan women ⬇️
The Taliban have ordered the Ministry of Telecommunications to obtain formal guarantees from telecom companies to provide Afghan users’ calls, data, and digital activity to the group’s security agencies. Local sources in Kandahar report that Taliban leader Hibatullah Akhundzada issued the directive.
According to the order, telecom companies must create special codes that, once triggered by a user, will automatically transfer all call logs, messages, and digital activity to Taliban intelligence.
Experts warn this decision could severely restrict freedom of expression and citizens' privacy.

After banning female education, many Afghan girls turned to online schools. Now, with the internet ban, even that last lifeline for their learning is being taken away by the Taliban’s oppressive regime.

[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.

Please read and share message and story from Afghan woman:-
It may be hard for some to believe, but this is the truth. I’m writing from one of the most remote parts of Afghanistan — a place where most people don’t even have access to electricity or mobile phones.
Because of security concerns, I can’t share my exact location. But here, even mobile networks barely work — we have to climb to rooftops or high places just to get a signal.
First, I want to thank
@DeclarationOn
, Joe, and dear
@Yalbano12345
and everyone who helps amplify our voices.
Yal Bano sent me a mobile phone and power bank so I could share the realities of my village and attend online English classes.
I am a mother of five children. My sons are older, and my daughters are still under seven. In our village, girls aren’t allowed to go to school — not even up to age 12, unlike in Kabul.
In our local mosque, they officially announced that once a girl becomes young, she must marry — preferably to a Taliban member. If not, she can marry someone else, but only with permission to know girl is married.
I’m terrified of my daughters growing up, because their future holds no freedom. They are expected to marry Taliban members by force. I wish they would never grow older.
Here, women have no value — we are like walking corpses.
Even before the Taliban, life was hard, but now it is unbearable. The abuse doesn’t just come from men. Our mothers-in-law and sisters-in-law — women themselves — treat us with cruelty.
I remember a case where a mother-in-law poured boiling water on her daughter-in-law. No one asked why. Instead, they blamed the girl.
Please hear my story and share it. I will continue to report to you the news from my village.
Thank you for being our voice.

A woman has no right to see the path with both eyes,” says a Taliban-backed cleric. This is not religion, it’s hatred dressed in robes.
This regime is waging a war on Afghan women, and the world watches in silence.💔
