The real fight against gender apartheid in Afghanistan is led and driven by the fearless women on the ground, risking everything to protest and demand their fundamental rights under the Taliban rule. The world must not forget their courage and defiance.

As we mark the 2nd anniversary of the forceful return of the Taliban, the international betrayal & national leaders’ humiliation of the people of Afghanistan, let’s make Calls for Action. It’s been 730 days of imprisonment for every woman & girl, death of dreams & loss of hope.

Every ABC reporter in Jerusalem has done this story every year for the past 3+ decades. That why it’s past time to call what Israel is doing in the West Bank for what it is @hrw & @amnesty have found Israeli authorities are committing the crime against humanity of #Apartheid
ABC News@abcnews

Israel is rapidly expanding settlements in the West Bank, in a move that goes against international law and which activists say is designed to permanently establish Jewish Israelis on land that Palestinians want as a future state. abc.net.au/news/2023-07-3…

Today in Kabul, Hazara/Shia women bravely challenge the Taliban's ban on #Ashura procession, protesting on the streets and chanting revolutionary slogans. Casualties are reported as the Taliban resort to using live ammunition to disperse the mourners.
