The detention of women in Herat is part of the Taliban’s ongoing and systematic repression of women and girls in Afghanistan. The denial of education, employment, and freedom of movement, along with arbitrary arrests based on dress codes, reflects a broader pattern of gender-based discrimination and violations of fundamental human rights.

We strongly condemn these arrests and call on the international community, human rights organizations, and women’s rights advocates to speak out against these abuses. Women in Afghanistan deserve dignity, freedom, and equal rights.

The reality in Afghanistan is one of escalating restrictions and systematic violations of women’s rights, not the narrative promoted by individuals such as Saad Mohseni and others who seek to normalize the Taliban and its policies. Those who whitewash the Taliban for political, economic, or personal gain help legitimize the ongoing oppression of women and girls in Afghanistan.

[Afghan Women Coordination Umbrella @AFWCU_]

The international community must not allow these abuses to be normalized. We stand in solidarity with the women and girls of Herat and demand their immediate release, their protection, and accountability for those responsible.

It’s quite telling that as August marks half a decade since the Taliban’s return, they’ve successfully achieved their interests on their terms.

The world could not achieve a single diplomatic solution, not one, for women and girls.

5 years banned from school.

[Zarqa Yaftali @ZarqaYaftali]

The legalization of child marriage is a direct assault of human rights, dignity, and the future of an entire generation of girls in Afghanistan. We must speak louder, stand stronger, and refuse to normalize this cruelty.
Taliban First took away girls’ schools.
Now they are trying to take away their childhood.

Mamdani closed a $12B deficit in 132 days, fixed 100K+ potholes, secured millions for gig workers, fined corrupt landlords millions, raised snow workers to $30/hr, and violent crime hit historic lows.
THIS IS WHAT A LEADER DOES!!

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

Afghanistan: Amnesty International is deeply concerned by media reports regarding the arbitrary arrest and enforced disappearance of three Afghan journalists – Mansoor Niazi and Imran Danish, reporters for TOLOnews, and Jawed Niazi, editor of the local Paigard news agency – allegedly carried out by the Taliban’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI).

These actions appear to be part of a broader and continued pattern of intimidation and reprisals against journalists and media workers in Afghanistan, in clear violation of the country’s obligations under international human rights law. The arbitrary deprivation of liberty and enforced disappearance raise serious concerns about the safety and well-being of those detained, including the risk of torture and other ill-treatment.

The Taliban de facto authorities must immediately disclose the fate and whereabouts of Mansoor Niazi, Imran Danish and Jawed Niazi, ensure their access to legal representation and family members, and release them unless they are charged with a recognizable criminal offense in proceedings that meet international fair trial standards.

🇦🇫 Afghanistan players celebrate their women's national team gaining official status!

They had been competing as Afghan Women United.

FIFA approved the team to represent Afghanistan in official competitions without the approval of the Taliban.

[Jahanzib Wesa @jahanzibwesa]

Afghan women cricketers welcome the recognition of the Afghanistan Women’s Football Team and share their happiness for this important moment in sport.

At the same time, they call on the International Cricket Council International Cricket Council to give Afghan women cricketers the same opportunity to play internationally.

Sport should be equal for all. This is their right, and they deserve support, education, and a chance to compete.

I am calling on each of you to stand with Afghan women athletes. They deserve the right to play and to be supported internationally. Please join me, share this for action, and use the hashtag while mentioning @ICC.

Day 1,684 of Afghan girls being prevented from getting an education.

Education empowers people and nations. No society can prosper while enforcing division and inequality.

You are not forgotten.

Canada’s Prime Minister just announced the end of the era of sending 70% of defense spending to the United States.

The crowd gave him a standing ovation.

America’s closest ally — shared border, shared culture, decades of integrated defense — just drew a line in front of a cheering crowd.

In the hands of an Afghan woman, beauty takes shape: 💎

Here, jewelry is handcrafted using natural gemstones gathered from the mountains of Afghanistan. Each piece reflects the strength, creativity, and rich cultural heritage of Afghan women.

Are you a fan of this kind of jewelry?

Day 1,650 of the Taliban banning #Afghan girls and women from getting the education they deserve.

Women continue to suffer under this oppressive regime. You are not forgotten.

Instagram is reading DM’s now. They dropped encryption. This also means Instagram is allowing third parties to have access to them. Good time to delete them all. And to stop using them.

The true voice of Afghanistan and Afghan women: Mariam Solaimankhil told the European Parliament that the Pakistani military is bombing civilians, while inside Afghanistan Taliban erase women and girls from public life, as the world debates and Afghans bury their dead.

[Aftikhar Ahmad Amini @Aftikhar_A2]

This is the spokesperson of the European Union ambassador. Yesterday morning, she took several diplomats, including the ambassador, to the hospital. When they saw the scene up close, they broke down in tears. 😢

[Omar Haidari @OmarHaidari1]

History will remember that on the night of Laylat al-Qadr, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan bombed Kabul, killing hundreds of patients, and the Ummah stayed silent.

[Mariam Solaimankhil @Mariamistan]

I spoke at the European Parliament today about what Afghans are actually living through.

Pakistan bombs our civilians.
The Taliban erase our women.
The world debates while Afghans bury their dead.

Watch. Share. This is the truth they don’t want amplified.

[Hareer Hashim @HareerHashim]

And the silence from Muslim and the intl community is truly deafening. Justice, restraint, and humanity must prevail.

[Hareer Hashim @HareerHashim]

I don’t understand why there’s such an imbalance when it comes to conscience-to suffering, pain, and struggle. Despite it being so visible, so extreme, so gory, it’s still not enough to be validated? For it to be seen as relevant, as worthy of attention?

[Hareer Hashim @HareerHashim]

In the most sacred nights of Ramadan, as hearts turn to prayer and mercy, Afghanistan faces violence. Pakistan’s attack during a time meant for peace, even in Laylatul Qadr and as Eid approaches is beyond heartbreaking. Civilians should never bear the cost of conflict.
