[Preventing Genocide @CPG_USHMM]

One year ago the U.S. made a historic determination that the atrocities committed against the #Rohingya by the Burmese military constitute genocide. While an important step, we must now focus on protecting displaced Rohingya and those who remain in #Burma. https://t.co/qqqBXbX7Yw

A day after of the Taliban BANNED female university education, women & girls have come out on the streets of Kabul protesting against the decree.

They chant —“Either for everyone or for no one. One for all, all for one”

Amplify their voices.
