TogetherStronger - With Afghan Women

It is unconscionable that children continue to die from hunger across so many parts of the world in the 21st century. The situation in Sudan is particularly dire. In most of these cases, this suffering is the result of man-made crises.

This latest arrest should be backed by continuing efforts to identify and hold accountable all those responsible for war crimes in Afghanistan and elsewhere, and to ensure victims receive their rightful compensation.

Open Letter | Urgent Call to Action Afghan women, through the Afghan Women Activists Coordinating Body (AWACB), address Islamic organizations, institutions, governments, and religious leaders to condemn the Taliban’s newly enforced laws that institutionalize gender apartheid and violate both Islamic principles and international human rights. The letter calls for clear religious and political action, accountability, and the inclusion of Afghan women in all decisions about Afghanistan’s future. Silence is not neutrality. نامهٔ سرگشاده | فراخوان فوری برای اقدام زنان افغانستان، از طریق انجمن هماهنگی زنان فعال افغانستان (AWACB)، این نامهٔ سرگشاده را خطاب به نهادهای اسلامی، مؤسسات دینی، دولت‌ها و رهبران مذهبی منتشر کرده‌اند تا قوانین تازهٔ طالبان را که آپارتاید جنسیتی را نهادینه می‌کند و با اصول اسلام و حقوق بین‌الملل در تضاد است، به‌طور آشکار محکوم کنند. این نامه خواهان موضع‌گیری روشن دینی و سیاسی، پاسخ‌گویی، و تضمین حضور معنادار زنان افغانستان در تمامی تصمیم‌گیری‌ها دربارهٔ آیندهٔ کشور است. سکوت در برابر بی‌عدالتی، بی‌طرفی نیست. @OIC_OCI @AlAzhar @MWLOrg_en @IIFA_official @mofauae @fatwauae @MuslimElders @MuslimElders_en @MWLOrg_en @Saudi_MoiaEN @KSAmofaEN @Kwt_awqaf @Kwt_awqafen @AlAzhar @MOFAKuwait @DarAlIftaEng @mofauae @KSAmofaEN @MOFAKuwait @Egyptmfa @MofaQatar_EN @UNAMAnews @DrPatoni @hrw_fa @UNWatch @UNHCRPakistan @SR_Afghanistan @heatherbarr1

This law is barbaric, cruel, and deeply sadistic. It reflects the psychological state of its drafters and the moral depravity of the Taliban’s leadership.

Cross-border aggression that harms civilians is a grave violation of international law. Pakistan must stop actions that put Afghan lives at risk. Human life is not collateral; it is precious and must be protected.

Honoring Saleha Farooq Etemadi, a visionary leader who served Afghanistan for 30+ years and championed women’s empowerment and literacy. Her legacy will inspire generations. RIP.

The violence in Sudan is unbearable. Innocent lives — even newborns — are being brutally taken. The attack on a maternity hospital is beyond horrific. The world cannot stay silent. RSF leaders must face justice.

🚨Afghanistan Is back to Stone Age !! Internet Officially has been blocked by the Taliban in Afghanistan as of few minutes ago !

The Taliban severed internet access to prevent anyone from documenting the transfer of thousands of foreign fighters out of Bagram to other terrorist camps — apparently to placate the U.S. during ongoing negotiations. Use satellite imagery. Document this movement. Wake up the governments that continue to downplay and enable the massive terrorist network running at full capacity since late 2021. Also, let’s not kid ourselves — these Neanderthals can’t run a government and don’t give a damn about the people of Afghanistan. Their only priority is protecting the dozens of terror groups they shelter. Stop all U.S. taxpayer funding to the Taliban immediately. And, if I were king for a day, I’d bomb the shit out of Bagram today! Get the terrorists before they move! We use to do that, then ended up with a government full of terrorist sympathizers somehow.

They are using the darkness to grow jihadi madrasas, train militants, and harbor global jihadist networks.

This blackout isn’t just about control; it gives the Taliban cover to expand extremist networks without scrutiny.

Afghanistan 2025: The Taliban have shut down phones & internet, cutting 40M people off from the outside world.
