"We are the darkest page of history" Afghan women sing in protest. This #IWD is another day of erasure for us Afghan women. Under 126 Taliban edicts, our faces are banned, our voices silenced, our dignity stolen. This is gender apartheid. Do not look away.

Today is International Day of Education — let’s not forget Afghanistan—the ONLY country in the world where girls education is banned. 1224 days since teenage girls were barred from school and 764 days since women were shut out of universities by Taliban. This injustice must end.
