May 3 World Press Freedom Day Press freedom is essential for democracy,transparency,and justice. Todaymany journalists in Afghanistan face threats and restrictions for simply telling the truth. We stand with all media workers who continue to raise their voices despite challenges






The launch of the report “Women’s Access to Justice in Afghanistan,” organized in collaboration with the University of Toronto, brought together academics, researchers, women’s rights advocates, diplomats, and cultural leaders in person, with many others joining virtually. The report highlights the complex and deeply concerning realities surrounding women’s access to justice in Afghanistan under Taliban rule. I extend my sincere appreciation to all speakers and participants, as well as to the Centre for European and Eurasian Studies at the Munk School of Global Affairs & Public Policy, University of Toronto, for their valued partnership. We remain committed to amplifying the voices of Afghanistan women. Without sustained and coordinated international engagement, progress toward justice will remain challenging.






Day 1682 Day 1682 of silence for millions of girls denied their right to education. Classrooms remain empty, not because students are gone, but because they are forbidden to enter. @KarimKhurram_KK @Rewayat10 Education is not a privilege it is a right.

فوزیه کوفی، رئیس سازمان زنان برای افغانستان، میگوید طالبان با چندین سطح اختلاف داخلی روبهرو است؛ از تنش میان حلقات اصلی تا نارضایتی در میان طالبان بومی. او این شکافها را عاملی بالقوه برای تضعیف و از هم پاشیدن ساختار این گروه میداند.



Resolution of the Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan April 24, 2026 Paris, France For more than four years, Afghanistan under Taliban rule has been facing a deep crisis of human rights and human dignity. During this time, basic freedoms —political, civil, and social-have been steadily stripped away, with women and girls suffering the most. Through dozens of discriminatory decrees, women have been pushed out of public life and denied their most fundamental rights. These actions have been recognized by credible international organizations as crimes against humanity. What is happening in Afghanistan today goes beyond isolated violations. It reflects a systematic and deliberate effort to exclude women from society and silence their presence. Women and girls are subjected to arbitrary detention, violence, and constant restrictions that affect every aspect of their lives. The result is a climate of fear, exhaustion, and deep uncertainty about the future. Today, as we gather in Paris, we raise our voices to condemn both the actions of the Taliban and the continued silence of the international community. We believe that any form of engagement with the Taliban risks giving legitimacy to a system built on gender apartheid and ongoing injustice. Our demands are clear and non-negotiable: 1. Gender apartheid in Afghanistan must be officially recognized as a crime against humanity by the United Nations and all countries committed to human rights. 2. All financial and political support to the Taliban must stop. Any support, including funds provided under the name of humanitarian aid, risks sustaining a system that continues to oppress women and undermine fundamental freedoms. 3. Efforts to engage politically with the Taliban, including international meetings and negotiations, must end. Such steps move toward normalizing a regime that systematically violates human rights. We remain committed to continuing this movement and will carry our protests to cities around the world until justice is achieved and the rights of the people of Afghanistan —especially women-are restored. We call on civil society, social movements, and people of conscience everywhere to stand with Afghanistan women in this struggle. In hope of freedom and justice. #RecognizeGenderApartheidInAfghanistanAsaCrimeAgainstHumanity #StopGenderApartheidinAfghanistan! @tamanaparyaniP





استاد محترم: اگر خوب دقت کنید، ما هرگز نگفتیم چرا در این مورد اظهار نظر میکنید؛ پرسش ما فقط در مورد زمان و مکان موضعگیری شماست؛ اینکه در طول این سالها و در جایگاههای مختلف قدرت، چه عواملی مانع از اتخاذ چنین موضع صریح و روشنی شده بود. قضاوت را به مردم و تاریخ میسپاریم؛ اینکه چه کسانی در پسِ شعارهای قومی پنهان شده و در مقاطع مختلف، از آن برای باجگیری و ایجاد غوغا بهره بردهاند. نامهنگاریهای اخیرتان نیز برای ما امر تازهای نیست؛ شما بهتر از هر کس به مکاتبهی ماه جولای ۲۰۱۲ خود با طرف پاکستانی واقفید. اما با توجه به نقش و مسئولیتتان در نظام و سیاست افغانستان، این حق را برای خود محفوظ میدانیم که بپرسیم: «ولی حالا چرا؟»
