Yes it happened! I am officially a Chevening Alumni. It was one year ago that I received chevening scholarship and on 4th of July I attended the #farewell2023 where I met scholars from Chevening, Commonwealth and Marshal scholarships.

The pain and suffocation in their voice is a grim reminder to the world that the last hope for women in Afghanistan is lost and so is their hope for a future. Taliban once again did what they are good at, eliminating women!

یک دانشجوی دختر در کابل می‌گوید افراد طالبان روز سه‌شنبه همه دختران را از انستیتوت طبی کابل با لت‌وکوب و خشونت بیرون کردند.
او می‌گوید به دلیل بسته شدن مراکز آموزشی، وضعیت روانی دانشجویان و استادان وخیم بودند و برخی از دانشجویان ضعف کردند.
در این ویدیو دیده می‌شود که یکی از دختران به زمین افتاده است.

The Taliban’s arbitrary arrest of prominent women human rights defenders and protestors Parisa Azada, Neda Parwani, Zholia Parsi, and Manizha Seddiqi, who were exercising their rights to freedom of expression and peaceful assembly, is deeply concerning. They must be immediately and unconditionally released @GDI1415.

In their discussion on human rights leadership panellists raised the importance of the role of women as #HumanRights leaders who often fail to receive recognition. @msherzad reminds us that women in #Afghanistan are the 'frontline warriors' of human rights. ♀️🇦🇫

812 days since the Taliban BANNED girls from school & 348 days since they BANNED women from university.

Afghanistan is the ONLY country in the world where women are banned from education. This is a global crisis in women’s rights. How can we stay silent

A 22 year old, Bahaar Karimi, was arbitrarily arrested more than a month ago from her home in Kabul for protesting against Talibans policies on women.

We DEMAND her immediate and unconditional release. We CANNOT let the Taliban silence Afghanistan’s women. #FreeBahaarKarimi

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

🇵🇰More than 1.4 million undocumented Afghan refugees are at imminent risk of deportation from #Pakistan after the government of Pakistan imposed the deadline of 1 Nov for the refugees to leave the country. This is a violation of their human rights and raises serious concerns regarding their safety, welfare, and access to basic services.
Join us in urging the Pakistan authorities @GovtofPakistan to immediately reverse its decision and adhere to international human rights law.

A great news!

[Hannah Neumann @HNeumannMEP]

They organise secret schools, travel to remote areas & organise distance learning.

So many Afghan education activists resist the Taliban attacks on education.

@petras_petras , me and more than 50 other MEPs decided to nominate three of them for the 2023 Sakharov Prize.
