Afghan women are still protesting.

1/2 The use of 'gender apartheid' in @Europarl_En resolution of 14 March 2024 'on the repressive environment in #Afghanistan,' & their demand for immediate release of political prisoners is commendable. But the rhetoric needs to be actioned. Gender apartheid must be criminalised.

[Tamana Zaryab Paryani @tamanaparyaniP]

Today, in the heart of Hamburg, Taliban supporters verbally attacked us during my speech. If it wasn't for the police, they might have physically attacked us. Today I experienced again that we are not immune!
We will stand Powerfull like always.
#EndGenderApartheidInAfghanistan!

Happy #InternationalWomensDay to all those fighting for their rights against patriarchal authoritarianism.

Just as this Persian song says, we will sprout again from our wounds and continue our fight to make the world a better place for everyone.

As we celebrated Yalda, the Persian tradition marking longest night of year with family and friends, we prayed for more love and honesty and an end to the dark forces of wars and bloodshed

725 days since the Taliban banned girls from school & 265 days since they banned women from university.

How have the Taliban succeeded in creating the world's first gender apartheid system? Why do we treat the women of Afghanistan with such indifference?

[Habib Khan @HabibKhanT]

The Taliban are using sticks to assault women and forcing them to leave the passport office in Herat province. Millions of Afghans seek passports to leave the country ruled by the Taliban regime.

[Omar Sadr @OmarSadr]

In this research, I argue how cultural relativism denies human rights and women's rights by demarcating a false line between the universal & the local in the Taliban regime & the Islamic Republic of Iran.

A thread on #GenderApartheid in Afghanistan.

Taliban violations of the rights of women and girls continue to intensify. The latest is a ban on women working for the UN. This could lead to suspension of aid—in a country facing the world’s most serious humanitarian crisis.

[Heather Barr @heatherbarr1]

Afghanistan is the only country in the world banning girls from secondary education. #GenderApartheid

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

His name is Ismail Mashal. He is a Kabul university professor who stood up for women’s rights in Afghanistan & was handing out free books to the public.

The Taliban arrested him 10 days ago. Demand his release now!

Peaceful protest is NOT a crime ❌

[Rashmi Sheila @rashmisheila]

This is dreadful! Under the Taliban's draconian regime, no human being is going to be safe!

[Natiq Malikzada @natiqmalikzada]

KabulNow Special Report: The Taliban’s favourite methods of torture of its detainees are sexual abuse, electric shocks, teeth drillings, hanging from the ceiling, sleep deprivation and burning body parts.
