Universities are back in session and so is Parliament. I have heard from students and professors across the country - the challenges faced by graduate students are real. It’s time for our government to invest in graduate scholarships and in the granting councils.

Three years ago, the Taliban led a military takeover of Afghanistan & enforced laws that erase women & girls from public life. But despite the risks, Afghan women are at the forefront fighting for their futures. Their resistance gives Afghans everywhere hope for their country.

I just returned from Northern #Afghanistan, where Afghan women told me what they want the world to know about their lives. My remarks on their powerful message and on how we can continue to invest in their unbreakable resilience. unwo.men/OZUm50SXbKi

Banned from sports in Afghanistan by the Taliban, para-taekwondo athlete Zakia Khodadadi fled her homeland, joined the refugee team at the Paris Paralympics, and won a bronze medal. The women of Afghanistan are resilient.

In response to the Taliban's ban on women's voices, this woman from Afghanistan sings a powerful poem: "Not afraid of hope, love, and tomorrow, not afraid of kissing you among the Taliban."

Maram’s stunning piano performance in Kabul. Under the Taliban, music is now illegal. The Afghanistan National Institute of Music empowered talents like her, but one of the Taliban's first moves was to ban the school.

I got an email from a brilliant Afghan girl in a refugee camp in Pakistan. With just her dad’s phone, she taught herself languages, Excel, and Google tools. This is the resilience of Afghan women and girls. Just with a basic mobile phone, she is paving her freedom.
