Really great having been invited by @tepsaeu to discuss how @Eurpeace applies gender- and climate-sensitive approaches to peacemaking together with @Amyclairedallas 🕊️

[European Institute of Peace (EIP) @Eurpeace]

Last week, EIP @Amyclairedallas (Environmental Peacemaking Programme) and @SGajan4 (#gender and Peacemaking Programme) discussed inclusive and #climate-sensitive approaches to #peace with TEPSA Academy participants. Thanks @tepsaeu for this opportunity.

We wrote about why countries that pledge to have a feminist foreign policy needed to be doing more to defend women’s rights in Afghanistan. This is even more relevant after new abusive decree by the Taliban orders women to stay indoors, cover faces. https://t.co/VeboS2M38c

The war in #Ukraine will "upend the peacetime relations and identities of men, women, and people of all genders and inflict suffering on them in very particular ways".

@AzadehMoaveni & @chitranagarajan outline the many ways #gender is at play 👇

On International Women’s Day, we should remember Afghanistan and consider what the state of women’s rights there means for the struggle for gender equality worldwide, writes @HeatherBarr1: https://t.co/5dq0K80y03 #IWD2022

[Heather Barr @heatherbarr1]

Taliban #iwd2022 statement promises women “an honorable and beneficial life in light of the noble religion of Islam and our accepted tradition.”

Afghanistan is the only country in world banning girls from secondary education based on gender. https://t.co/quRTItdUSf

“When the Taliban understood the two women were not accompanied by men, they forced them out of the clinic and beat them with the butts of their rifles,” she said, citing a recent example. They had brought a sick infant in for a checkup. https://t.co/v2KeXw7W7U

Afghan women are watching the walls close around them as the Taliban impose one arbitrary restriction after another on their freedom of movement and their ability to lead normal lives. https://t.co/xgIeGatNvD

[Shaharzad Akbar شهرزاد اکبر @ShaharzadAkbar]

Everyone I talk to in Kabul is terrified of a bunch of armed men walking in & searching their most private belongings. Some women activists have reported their passports as being confiscated by the Taliban. Afghans are living a nightmare under Taliban’s tyranny #Afghanistan

[Pashtana Zalmai Khan Durrani پښتنه درانی @BarakPashtana]

Now that is world is not watching. Here is what is happening in Afghanistan:
1:House searches, unwarranted house searches.
2:Women activists passports being taken away and not allowed to leave the country.
3: Women are not allowed to travel alone outside or inside 🇦🇫

[WIIS.de @WIIS_de]

Eine Möglichkeit hierzu ist die Registrierung einer Unterkunft, v.a. für geflüchtete Frauen & Kinder. Wer also ein Zimmer frei hat, kann sich unter folgendem Link eintragen:

[Kvinna till Kvinna International @KvinnaKvinnaINT]

It is a crucial task for the international feminist community to listen to Ukrainian women human rights defenders and support them with what they need. We must show that the world is watching. Ukrainian #WHRD do not stand alone. #StandWithUkraine

1. Taliban reprisal, repression & restrictions on women & girls have increased. Yesterday they announced that no women & girls will be allowed to travel alone without a mahram (male accompany). Their earlier restrictions included:

[Rukhshana Media @RukhshanaMedia]

Taliban spokesman, Zabihullah Mujahid, announced the ban on Sunday. He said women, who don’t have male companions, cannot travel abroad without having a strong legal excuse. https://t.co/dbijfZWBlP

Wegen des russischen Überfalls auf die #Ukraine sind Frauen und Kinder mitten in Europa allein auf der Flucht. Sie brauchen unsere Unterstützung und besonderen Schutz. @UNWomen_Germany hat ein Spendenkonto eingerichtet: https://t.co/3582zhIhuq @Frauenrat @ASF_SPDFrauen

[The Kyiv Independent @KyivIndependent]

While we are extremely grateful for the support we’ve been getting, we understand that other media outlets in Ukraine have been less lucky.

That’s why our partners launched a new global fundraising campaign to help independent Ukrainian media.
