Mursal Nabizada was a member of the Afghan parliament. She stayed in Afghanistan. She did not leave after the Taliban took over the country.
MP Nabizada was shot dead in her home today.
Afghanistan is hell on earth for women.
Two women in Afghanistan singing in defiance of the Taliban’s gender apartheid regime that has imprisoned women in their homes.
They sing - “what should I say, the world doesn’t care if I cry, if I plead or if I die. I wait for the precious day that we break out of the cage.”
Brave women in Kabul saying ‘no to Taliban’s mandatory burqa’ which has taken women’s agency and dignity for generations.
It is a crime against humanity to turn a country into a prison for half its population. Afghanistan’s women are human beings.
زن، زندگی، آزادی.
408 days have passed since Taliban banned teenage girls from school.
Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where girls aren’t allowed to go to school. This is the Taliban celebrating the closure of girls schools by dancing in their empty classrooms
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
The brave women & girls of Afghanistan come out to protest today inside a university to condemn yesterdays terrorist attack in west Kabul (Hazara area) that killed at least 40 students.
“Education is our right”
Don’t turn a blind eye to their suffering
A young boy sitting outside the classroom where a suicide bomber killed his sister today in west Kabul, a mostly Hazara neighbourhood (alongside up to 50 other female students). His deceased sister’s backpack next to him.
This heartbreaking image defines Afghanistan.
Do you remember the Holocaust?
I believe everyone does. But today, we are not here just to remind each other of this or that. Today, we can make a difference! We can save lives! We can stop this genocide together!
