Today, women and men in Herat came together in peaceful protest in support of women’s rights. The Taliban responded by suppressing the demonstration.
But voices calling for freedom, justice, and equality cannot be silenced.

واکنش فریده محب، یکی از اعضای بورد رهبری جنبش فانوس آزادی زنان افغانستان، در پیوند به اقدام طالبان مبنی بر قانونیسازی ازدواج کودکان و محدود ساختن حق جدایی میان زن و شوهر.
راحله کریمی: طالبان با نام «شریعت» و «اصولنامه»، آینده دختران افغانستان را قربانی میکنند. قانونیساختن ازدواج کودکان، نه دین است و نه عدالت؛ بلکه نابودی حق آموزش، آزادی و زندگی انسانی زنان و دختران اس
یاسمین غیاثی تأکید کرد که طالبان با تصویب چنین اصولنامههایی، بهجای حمایت از حقوق کودکان، راه را برای محرومیت دختران از آموزش، آزادی و زندگی انسانی هموار میکنند؛ اقدامی که نقض آشکار حقوق بشر و کرامت انسانی است.
The Taliban has officially legalized child marriage in Afghanistan.
A girl’s silence is now treated as “consent.”
This is violence against children.
Where is the UN?

Afghan girls study in secret homes and underground classrooms with broken phones and weak internet.
We are proud to help create opportunities for them to keep learning despite Taliban restrictions.

Education is obligatory upon both man and woman
For what reason have these doors been closed to her?
This is not a ruler, but a tyrant
Who has blocked the paths to schools for her?

هر چند مبارزه در این راه تاوان نیز دارد، اما ارزش رهایی ملت ،از چنگال دیو منشان را دارد…
Farzana was only 18
A young mother, married for just one year.
She was brutally tortured, beaten, and killed with boiling water by her husband and his family
This is beyond heartbreaking — it is a crime that demands justice.
Women in Afghanistan are not safe.
Raise your voice.
My video for #WorldPressFreedomDay describes how journalists face an escalating pattern of censorship, intimidation & arrest. I call on Taliban to immediately & unconditionally release all detained journalists, and ensure that media workers can operate without fear #Afghanistan
