Today, I joined @amanpour's program, speaking with @paulanewtonCNN about three years of Taliban's draconian rule in Afghanistan and the recent formalizing of their harsh Vice and Virtue policies that criminalize the face and voice of women. I emphasized why this dehumanizing situation demands the recognition of #GenderApartheid.
Women inside and outside Afghanistan are posting videos of themselves singing online to protest a new set of Taliban laws that severely restrict women’s rights and freedoms.
It is time to recognize gender apartheid in Afghanistan!

For the entire day, Kharkiv has been under Russian terrorist strikes. The air raid in the Kharkiv region has been ongoing for more than 12 hours.
Guided aerial bombs and missiles are targeting the ordinary buildings of Kharkiv, the ordinary civilian life of the city. A construction hypermarket has been burnt to the ground, and firefighting is still underway. There were strikes on the central park, on ordinary houses... The exact number of people killed is still unknown. In total, almost 60 people have been injured on this day alone and in Kharkiv alone. Everyone is being provided with the necessary assistance.
Almost two hundred rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and dozens of vehicles are involved in eliminating the consequences of the terror. About 400 police officers are working at the site. All emergency services are engaged. I am grateful to everyone who is taking care of people and trying to save as many lives as possible.
I thank everyone in the world who supports Ukraine, and our Kharkiv now, and condemns Russian terror. It is important that we all stand together to ensure that Russian terror is overcome and that everyone responsible for these attacks receives a just response. Everyone who supports us with air defense systems, everyone who supplies Ukraine with weapons to defend against Russian terrorists, and everyone who stands with us in the world and has no lack of determination is a real lifesaver.
@vsnunes1974@claudiashandi É impressionante como o gajo que mais enche a boca para falar em humildade e empatia é o mais arrogante dos 8, por larga margem. Só convence os militantes mais ceguinhos...
