A small but fearless group of women from Afghanistan is protesting in the streets of Kabul on International Women’s Day, demanding their basic rights and calling for an end to a gender apartheid regime.

@ZahraJoya told the APPG that ‘the system of gender apartheid in #Afghanistan’ means that ‘being a woman has become a structural crime’. She called on the #UK Government to hold the #Taliban accountable: ‘in this chaotic moment, we should not turn a blind eye to these issues’.

A simple message with big meaning: "I am somebody." We are grateful to Rev. Jesse Jackson for helping teach generations of children to believe in themselves and in one another. Thank you for being part of our neighborhood. 💛💚

Today marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. But millions of Afghan women and girls still living under the Taliban aren't celebrating. It’s also been 1,607 days since girls over 12 were banned from school.

In #Afghanistan, we mark #WomenInScience day with sorrow: 1,607 days since girls over 12 were banned from school. Over four years of lost opportunity and a bleak future without women and girls in any critical sector. We reiterate our call on the DFA to reverse the ban.

Draped in burnt-orange robes, two dozen Buddhist monks arrived in Washington, D.C., as part of a 2,300-mile 'Walk for Peace', a self-described spiritual journey across nine states reut.rs/3O7KCn0

" Afghanistan is not slowly returning to normal. Instead, it is being changed into a society where the Taliban rule through fear, inequality, and violence, ignoring human rights and justice" thediplomat.com/2026/01/taliba…

The Taliban’s ban on all education for girls beyond 6th grade is just one piece of the broader destruction they have inflicted on the education system through actions like firing qualified teachers, removing secular subjects, etc. The harm to Afghanistan’s future grows every day.

Afghan student Krishma, banned from education, says: “Education is our right, not a dream.” On #InternationalDayOfEducation, Afghan girls are still denied learning. Stand with them. Raise your voice. World is still thinking about normalizing with Taliban. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn

New in the @WSJ: HRF CEO @ThorHalvorssen on what comes next for Venezuela after Maduro’s arrest. The cartel is the state, and Delcy Rodríguez can’t be trusted to lead a transition.

Even though the Iranian regime has tried to black out the internet- we are still getting footage. This is the collapse of the regime in real time. #FreeIran When the people unite the force is unstoppable.

A young student once asked a wise Monk.... MUST READ.. 🧵

I spent yesterday in Korma with survivors of El Fasher atrocities. So many halting, harrowing conversations in Arabic, or translated from Zaghawa, about horror and misery. Then Haseena pushed through crowd. Speaking in perfect English, she wanted the world to hear her story.

Unspeakable suffering in Tawila. Over half of the fleeing survivors are children. One injured woman I met walked into the camp after surviving an attack, carrying her friend's starving child. They're asking the world if help is coming. wapo.st/47HBZa7
