🚨 Over 1,000 Days of Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan 🚨 Since the Taliban's return to power, the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan have been under relentless attack. Over 100 cruel edicts have been issued to erase women from public life, denying them education, work, freedom of movement, and even the right to speak or show their faces. This is gender apartheid. It’s time to recognize it as a crime against humanity and take urgent international action.

Politics4Her Founder Yasmina Benslimane posted a very important statement in support of our battle with Coalition of Feminists for Social Change (COFEM). Find it here: https://lnkd.in/djaPWaSi

"It has now been over 1000 days since they banned girls from attending school beyond the sixth grade, making Afghanistan the only country in the world with such restrictions and making it the only country in the world that takes away the inalienable right to education only to girls, ripping away their most powerful tool. The new “morality law” is deeply concerning as it is completely erasing women from public life, not allowing them to sing, speak, or expose faces." Yasmina Benslimane writes a powerful statement on the urgent need to recognise gender apartheid in Afghanistan. Read the statement here: https://lnkd.in/djaPWaSi

This case like many other cases is horrifying! This is the reason I chose to dedicate my career to fighting against gender-based violence. I have seen all kind of cases and seen the strength of survivors who, despite the odds, have spoken up. Unfortunately too many times, laws do not provide adequate protection and our governments ( yes all governments ) do no invest enough to prevent violence against women. If you are outraged, ask what investments and resources are dedicated to addressing violence and push for change. Check out initiative such as Coalition of Feminists for Social Change (COFEM), Womankind Worldwide, Equality Now, The Accelerator for Gender Based Violence Prevention, and many others to know more.
