Today marks three years since the killing of #MahsaAmini in Iran — a young woman whose life was cut short, but whose name ignited a revolution. From the streets of Tehran to cities around the world, women rose up with the cry: “Woman, Life, Freedom.” What began as a demand for

Dozens of girls across Afghanistan are reaching out to me tonight. The Taliban has shut down the internet in 5 provinces that I’ve heard of so far. I’m still figuring out how widespread this is. This is a crisis. We are about to be disconnected from thousands of women!

A woman has no right to see the path with both eyes,” says a Taliban-backed cleric. This is not religion, it’s hatred dressed in robes. This regime is waging a war on Afghan women, and the world watches in silence.💔

I am terrified for Afghan women and girls tonight. For years, my work has been covert access to healthcare, education, and information through mobile phones. If the Taliban cuts internet access, they lose their last lifeline. Total silence. Total erasure.

I kindly beg you please share our page and don’t let the voices of Afghan women be silenced. The Taliban fears WDI Afghanistan because we share daily updates and news from inside the country. That’s why they’re trying to get our page reported and taken down. 💔 J.K. Rowling

Hi The Guardian The Telegraph CNN The New York Times, every other news outlet out there. If you’re a journalist, I have many Afghan women who run online schools and rely on the internet to keep their lives going in Afghanistan. They want to speak to you about the internet ban. Please DM.

This is an incredible result for inward investment into the UK. Ultimately, it means thousands of good, well-paid jobs right across the country.

To get out of a psych hospital many people have to lie. The treatment borders on abuse. Many are placed on multiple psychiatric drugs that make them feel worse. In order to escape that hell they have to tell their doctors they are improving. I hear this consistently.

Two teachers in Afghanistan told me they canceled online classes tonight. Only 5 students showed up, out of 20. I warned for years: the final crackdown will be the internet. It’s happening now. In real time.

🧵In a shockingly bad article, this author says assisted suicide would reduce "the pensions bill, the NHS bill and the care bill”. In other words, assisted suicide should be made legal to save money. That’s not compassion, it’s putting a price on vulnerable people’s heads. 1/

The Taliban have now banned books by women writers—a direct attack on women’s voices and thought. This is a crime against humanity. Where are the UN, Amnesty, ICC? How long will the world stay silent? #FreeAfghanWomen
