Let’s remember that one of America’s strengths is how often in history we've been a refuge for the oppressed. Many who contributed deeply to our country came from places that weren’t stable/prosperous & they've helped shape US exceptionalism @TheBushCenter

Although the global community’s leverage has changed, accountability mechanisms still exist (like the expansion/full enforcement of sanctions) and must be applied. Learn more about what the world can do to stand w/ Afghan women 👇 @TheBushCenter https://t.co/IOYRBIAn6I

Nearly a quarter century later, her words endure as the Taliban once again unleash an unrelenting assault on the rights, freedom, and well-being of female Afghans (and their children). In every way, this is gender apartheid.

"All of us have an obligation to speak out...Fighting brutality against women/children is not the expression of a specific culture; it is the acceptance of our common humanity - a commitment shared by people of good will on every continent" - Mrs. @laurawbush, Nov 17, 2001 📻🧵

A pregnant woman denied entry to Gozargah Maternity Hospital in Herat by the Taliban for not wearing a burqa. Her uterus ruptured, her baby died & she is now in a coma. When covering your face is more important than ur life. https://t.co/1WGI0qfmsX @antonioguterres
