Happy Nawruz to all! Celebrating my 2nd Nawruz in Canada, far from Afghanistan's vibrant landscapes but close to its rich traditions. It's not just a new year; it's about renewal, hope, and our enduring heritage. #Nawruz #NewBeginnings #AfghanInCanada

Today marks 1,049 days since girls were banned from school in AFG, denying them a fundamental human right: education. We must unite and fight for women's liberation everywhere. Are we ready to cry out louder against patriarchy? #EndGenderApartheid change.org/p/recognize-ge…

Yesterday marked 3 years since the Taliban's resurgence in Afghanistan, highlighting severe gender apartheid. Women & girls face harsh restrictions, undermining their freedoms and our country's growth. We must act to support Afghan voices and push for equality. #GenderEquality

This Sunday was special as I joined my fellow Afghans in our Gender & Women’s Studies group meeting on Afghanistan’s Independence Day. We reflected on our progress and the ongoing fight for true independence and gender equity! #GenderEquity #AfghanistanIndependence

Canada condemns the Taliban's so-called vice and virtue law, another attempt to silence the people of Afghanistan – especially women and girls. We call on the Taliban to reverse all restrictions on women and girls and end all human rights violations taking place in Afghanistan.

Deeply concerned about the Taliban's new law that further restrict Afghan women. These rules ban women from showing their faces or speaking in public, aiming to erase their presence in society. Afghan women deserve respect and the freedom to live fully. #Afghanistan #WomenRights
