Displaced International calls on @FIFAcom to end the exclusion of displaced Afghan women footballers. By barring the @AfghanWnt from another World Cup cycle, FIFA is inadvertently reinforcing the Taliban’s systematic oppression of women—an act the @UN and rights groups have

Afghan women must be allowed to represent their country in every sport. Excellent from @damopeck & @AnthonyRFurci to highlight the fight for @FIFAcom recognition by @AfghanWnt. Very important with the @theafcdotcom Women's Cup coming up! #Football #Sports

Australia condemns the Taliban’s efforts to silence the voices of Afghanistan’s women and girls. The latest vice and virtue decree bans women’s voices and bare faces in public. We stand together with the women and girls of Afghanistan, and in support of their human rights.

What’s often missing from discussion about Afghanistan is a critical look at how two decades of international presence led to the harsh reality Afghan women & girls face today. None of this was inevitable; it was man-made. https://t.co/8MPtaqfdt8

It is three years since the fall of Kabul, and so it is three years since the Taliban began enforcing a system of gender apartheid on the women of Afghanistan. Don’t forget, and don’t let it be forgotten. #StandWithAfghanWomen forever and always.
Three years since the Taliban's return, I think of the girls who started high school in 2021 and should have been graduating next year. Instead, they've spent three years sitting at home, banned from school solely because of their gender.
