Latest from @UN is normalizing the #Taliban… ‘sitting down to dinner with the devil using a long spoon?’ How about feeding the masses of hungry and abandoned women and children?

As I leave Afghanistan, I strongly believe that with determination in solidarity with Afghan women and girls, we can recover their rights to education and work. https://t.co/HpTZu5p95z

رابرت ری نماینده دایمی کانادا در سازمان ملل: "شما از حقوق زنان (در افغانستان) به نام امپریالیزم غربی دفاع نمی‌کنید. شما برای انسانیت از حقوق زنان دفاع می‌کنید و بخاطر انسانیت، ما نمی‌توانیم از زنان و مردم افغانستان روی بر گردانیم."

Among the subjects #Taliban deny women to study at master's level? #journalism, along with agriculture, business administration, computer science, and engineering. #womenlifefreedom #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

Female students attempt to enter their university in Badakhshan only to be whipped by a member of the Taliban who prevents them from entering. The women chant ‘education is our right’ & ‘woman, life, freedom’ which is also what protesters in Iran have been chanting #Afghanistan
