TogetherStronger - With Afghan Women

We are a coalition of advocates, comprised of women from across Afghanistan & outside Afg. We believe in inclusive, just, practical, and sustainable peace.

The Taliban’s VAW has nothing to do with so-called hijab violations. It is about erasing women frm public life. Watch this footage & judge for yourself: what more could this woman have done to comply with the Taliban’s draconian hijab requirements? @OIC_OCI @UNSC_Reports

EGA team members Azadah Raz Mohammad and @Metra_Mehran spoke at #ASIL2026, where they each discussed how codification of gender apartheid could serve as a viable path towards justice and accountability

در سه سال گذشته، تیم کمپین «به آپارتاید جنسیتی پایان دهید» و شرکای ما به‌طور خستگی‌ناپذیر با کشورهای مختلف برای گنجانیدنِ «آپارتاید جنسیتی» در معاهدهٔ «جرایم علیه بشریت» دادخواهی کرده‌اند.

امروز، هفت کشور، به‌شمول افغانستان، استرالیا، ایسلند، مکزیک، اسپانیا، تیمور شرقی و اروگوئه، به‌طور رسمی از دبیرکل سازمان ملل متحد خواسته‌اند که «آپارتاید جنسیتی» در معاهدهٔ «جرایم علیه بشریت» گنجانیده شود. این بدان معناست که «آپارتاید جنسیتی» رسماً وارد دستور کار مذاکرات مربوط به این معاهده شده است.

Ustad Farida Mahwash — the only Afghan woman to ever hold the title of Ustad (Master Musician) — speaking at her book signing on May 31, 2026. Her voice carried Afghan music to the world. Today, under the Taliban, a woman's voice is banned in public — which makes recordings like these, & her presence now, defiant.
Also, my sweet father, Dr. Said Abdullah Kazem, who has known Ustad and her family since she was a child, reflects on her achievements, her hard work, and her legacy. Also, my amazing madar jan, Razia Kazem, holding Ustad's book. Together we rise!

What does "affordable" mean in today's Afghanistan? For many families, it's no longer about choice. It's about deciding what can be postponed, reduced or given up altogether.

The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child, reacting to the Taliban’s approval and endorsement of the “Regulation on the Separation of Spouses,” in which child marriage is implicitly recognized and a girl’s silence is considered consent to marriage, has called on the group to immediately repeal all measures that violate children’s rights and to explicitly and unequivocally prohibit child marriage.

دختران افغان در نامه‌هایی به آنتونیو گوترش، دبیرکل سازمان ملل متحد، از او خواستند تا در مذاکرات این سازمان با طالبان حق آموزش دختران افغان را در اولویت قرار دهد.
این دختران با فرستادن بیش از ۴۵ نامه دست‌نویس به آقای گوترش تاکید کردند که نباید فراموش شوند و از او خواستند تا با فشار بر طالبان در جهت بازگشایی مکاتب دخترانه اقدام کند.

#Afghanistan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates (~600 deaths per 100,000 live births).

Skilled care & women health workers save lives, but restrictions on women’s participation are limiting access to life-saving services for mothers and newborns.

My video message👇addresses serious human rights concerns related to Decree 12 on “criminal rules for courts” which should be aligned with international human rights standards or rescinded. #Afghanistan

If Afghan partners – whom the world witnessed standing with U.S. forces for two decades – can be transferred to the DRC, what assurance can the United States credibly offer to those it will rely on in the future? https://t.co/C72tOzoPHZ

[Fereshta Abbasi @FereshtaAbbasi]

For the past five years, I’ve documented Taliban abuses, and now the effort to silence critics has spread beyond Afghanistan. Local media can no longer show my interviews because I won’t comply with the Taliban’s repressive rules.

It is unconscionable that children continue to die from hunger across so many parts of the world in the 21st century. The situation in Sudan is particularly dire. In most of these cases, this suffering is the result of man-made crises.

This latest arrest should be backed by continuing efforts to identify and hold accountable all those responsible for war crimes in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and to ensure victims receive their rightful compensation.
