Women and girls in Afghanistan continue to be banned from getting an education and have been pushed out of public life. Now they’re missing from UN backed talks with the Taliban in Doha about the future of the country. A devastating outcome for Afghan women and girls who not only feel abandoned by the international community but remain excluded from talks about their future.

@MonicaBelfast understands why #Afghan Women need to be included in upcoming talks with Taliban and joins global women leaders urging the #UN to do this prnewswire.com/news-releases/…

Imagine if your daughter or sister had been banned from school for 1000 days? I am so ashamed that the world is standing by while Afghan girls are forced to stay home. Please join me in raising #AfghanGirlsVoices

@eir @Pri_Borpujari I have tried multiple times entering both my landline and phone# and it tells me that it cannot find the details. I cannot get through to a person - your website is like a maze. The mobile broad-brand is awful at times. How can I get support?

@Pri_Borpujari Hi there, Thanks for getting in touch. Please send us a DM with your details and we will help you out. Thank you. - The eir team

Hi @eir what's a way to get in touch with you to resolve phone issues when the top-up hasn't been successful but money has been debited from the bank, and phone calls are still not possible, and the Eir store is not anywhere nearby?

@annedaly19 @clarissaward Thanks Anne.

I have met @clarissaward and followed her work in #Afghanistan #Syria and #Ukraine & true to form when challenged by Rahma Zein she immediately moved to do an interview with her. This is a time to support all journalists covering what must be one of the darkest stories in history

We're living in the worst of times.

@HollyCairnsTD Thank you @HollyCairnsTD, it is time to pause for peace.

Ethnic cleansing is occurring on our watch and the international community is standing idly by and letting it happen. Ireland is one of a few States willing to call out Israel's war crimes. How long will the EU stay silent at the expense of Palestinian people?

@whatthewomensay @phoebe_ivy @_Will_Brown @tortoise Awful, women's rights shouldn't be up for negotiation.

🗣️ #WPSWednesday: “The UN was the only hope for Afghan women to stand up for our rights. But it didn’t even support its own staff.” - Afghan women working for the UN in Kabul tell @phoebe_ivy & @_Will_Brown for @tortoise. tortoisemedia.com/2023/05/16/un-…

Today at #PeaceCon2023, #WASL member @Rajaa_Altalli (@ccsdsyria): “Our mission is to cultivate hope to achieve sustainable #peace & transitional justice in #Syria.” #BeyondFragileGround

@ryanjfeeney @QUBelfast @aileentokes @MallonJM @Eamdee @carowalker @QUBVChancellor @cocallaghannews Thank you and all @QUBelfast for an excellent conference.

@whatthewomensay @RoyalFamily @sanambna @venuwan @munaluqman @Pawed51735079 @aminarasul @shetalkspeace @Reachoutreo @MagdaZed @meliofmaine I attended a conference in Belfast marking 25 years of the Good Friday Agreement; women's role in building peace was recognised (not the case 25 years ago yet they inspired UN Resolution 1325). Likewise all your work is pivotal to peace-building.

This week, HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh (@RoyalFamily) heard how #WASL members from countries including Albania, Yemen & the Philippines have localized the #SheBuildsPeace campaign to gain recognition for women #peacebuilders & tackle critical humanitarian & security challenges.

@dawnpurvis @QUBelfast @HillaryClinton Richly deserved Dawn

@LeonaONeill1 @TEDTalks Practice many times; I heard from someone who practiced 100 times before giving an emotional speech and apparently all this practice got them to a place where they delivered w/o unwanted emotion. I imagine you will be great. Good luck!

I’m nervous about doing my @TEDTalks next weekend. Nervous because it’s personal, because I don’t want to cry - if anyone has any tips on that please shout. Talking about my experiences is hard. I practiced it today on my fab first year gang. They gave me a round of applause ❤️

Mary Robinson tells @giwps "There would never have been a peace process leading to the Good Friday Agreement, it would not have happened without the women" Take note #ChatGPT

How do we ensure AI doesn't reenforce misleading narratives? Last night, I asked AI #ChatGPT to tell me lessons from N. Ireland's #Peace Process. It failed to include the role of women like @MonicaBelfast + many other courageous women who made peace possible.

@JZulver @ftgs_isa Well deserved Julia.

On #InternationalWomensDay2023 we demand the release of the thousands of women and girls disappeared into Assad torture and death camps The world normalizses with Assad while hundreds of thousands of prisoners are unaccounted for #SyriasDisappeared #FreetheDetainees

Apologies I meant to say WAB

Sorry to you and the WAN on the loss of your friend and colleague and the loss of so many family and friends. The situation is catastrophic and still so many people under the rubble, they need to be rescued.

@Rim_Turkmani 😢 Allah yarhamha. My condolences to you and all the women of the WAB who have lost a dear colleague and friend; I have the interview with her from 2016 (film yet to be completed). May she be at peace and her strong spirit be in your hearts.

‘Better late than never’ doesn’t apply to search & rescue teams post an earthquake I lost another friend this morning. Tens of thousands of people are now dead under the rubble while some countries are still contemplating whether to send their teams to #Syria or not. RIP Raeifa
