'Afghan women are not giving up'
- I spoke with @amanpour about what it means to be a woman living in Afghanistan today. With thanks to all the Afghan women who shared their stories of loss & resistance with me, so I could share them with the world when they cannot anymore.

#StopHazaraGenocide
Month after month the people of #Afghanistan suffer and die, incl 53 mainly #Hazara girls last week, a people at risk of #genocide.. And yet the world says & does nothing. What have these people done to deserve this? Time to speak up, to stand up and demand #justice4afghanistan
I can't control my tears while reading these lines! How people line up goals and hopes, yet ruthlessness ignorance destroys their life. Some of the wishes are basic human rights yet impossible for an Afghan girl to have #StopHazaraGenocide#afghanistanwomen#HumanRightsViolations
Have become so emotional on reading this notes of a student written for herself who was killed in the suicide attack in Kabul.

We are gravely concerned by the developments in #Afghanistan.
Together with @unwomenchief we call on the de facto authorities to IMMEDIATELY restore women’s and girls’ freedom of movement, right to work and access to all education.
