Taliban must remove their ban on girls' secondary education immediately. Rather they must invest their energy in creating education oppt for their soldiers many of who have never attended school or have left it to join the Taliban's training camp at a young age.

For so long I resisted restricting replies to my tweets, thinking I must hear everyone's voice & opinion. But seems I have reached my limits. Criticism & counter-arguments must be presented with dignity otherwise I won't hear you.

It was a pleasure joining Yasmine Sherif, Enayat, Martha & other panelist to talk about impact of war on Afghan & Ethiopian children & the ways forward. Children’s suffering caused due to war must be recognised. Sustainable peace must be given priority. In war no child is safe

The moments of joy have been very rare for Afghanistan in the past year. Now that Eid is here, we must seize this moment & celebrate it. Joy, Humour, & occasional celebrations are like lifelines in this crisis. I pray joy becomes contiguous. Eid Mubarak

Afghanistan is suffering from acute poverty besides many other challenges. Taliban have banned girls' secondary education & women's right to work. Why are women not allowed to contribute to the alleviation of poverty? and to the reconstruction of our country?

Penpath volunteers speaking to elders from various districts in Kandahar and campaigning for girls school to open. People in villages are supporting this campaign and insisting that this is their right and their demand #PenPathGirlsEduCampaign #PenPathKandahar

I strongly condemn the Taliban's decision to ban women from universities. This is heartbreaking for not just all the women of Afghanistan but for the future of the country as a whole. The women and girls of Afghanistan have a right to education at all levels.

In this video, male medical students of Nangarhar university r leaving the uni to show solidarity with their female classmates who r banned from receiving an education by the Taliban. Very proud to see this resistance. It is a clear message to the Taliban.
