We cannot let the ban on girls' education become a norm. Not only are millions of girls losing their right to read, write & learn but generations of boys & young men will lose out too. Women's emancipation, work & freedom benefits everyone.

Imagine not being allowed to work, to go to school, to travel alone without a male relative, to go to the gym & park, to be in public without a burqa or face veil, to have a voice…
This is what life is like for a woman in Taliban-ruled Afghanistan.
The application for the Chevening scholarship of 2023-2024 is not open to Afghan students. How different is your act from the Taliban, banning Afghans from education?
While everyone watched in horror what happened to Afghanistan since last year, why repeating the same mistakes?
People are dying of poverty and taliban are concerned about women’s clothing? They have nothing to work on but always focused on women because they are good for nothing and as always Afghan women are suffering! #taliban#AfghanWomen#afghanistanwomen
UNAMA is deeply concerned with today’s announcement by the Taliban that all women must cover their faces in public, should only leave their homes in cases of necessity, & that violations will lead to the punishment of their male relatives.

#AFG The Afghan cricket team’s victory is a profound example of the Afghan new generations will and capability. We may have come short but we will win back our freedoms. Thank you blue tigers for your devotion to our beloved nation!
My message to the Taliban authorities in Kabul today:
1. Afghanistan has no real future if girls of all ages cannot go to school
2. We need all our staff, including women, to be equally able to work and travel for us to scale up and respond to urgent needs
