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.

" 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" https://t.co/TzawgItIaP

At first glance, the criminal code appears to be a typical legal framework. But the state’s goal is not to protect citizens, but to control them.

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.
In #Afghanistan, education is at a breaking point. More than 90% of 10-year-olds cannot read a simple text, signaling a crisis of schooling without learning. Sustained investment in early learning, literacy and numeracy is essential to secure outcomes for every child. @UNESCOAfg

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.

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. https://t.co/jAkoiCteOc

تلاش مشترک جامعه مدنی و حقوق بشری ناممکن را ممکن ساخت. چهار و نیم سال بعد از حمله خونین و کمر شکن تروریستی به مکتب سید الشهدا بلاخره دادخواهی جامعه مدنی برای یک مکانیزم مستقل تحقیقی که تحقیق در مورد همه جنایات و جنایتکاران در افغانستان را در ماموریت خود دارد، نتیجه داد و پیروز شد
