It's been 3 years since the Taliban took over Afghanistan, enforcing a system of gender apartheid that erases girls and women from public life. The world once united to dismantle apartheid—we can do it again.

Horia Mosadiq knows how dangerous activism is in Afghanistan — because she’s worked defending Afghan women's rights for the past 30 years. Now, she’s making it her mission to protect fellow activists & hold the Taliban accountable for gender apartheid ⬇️ malala.org/newsroom/how-a…

Three years after the Taliban seized power in Afghanistan, the world continues to look away from their stripping of the rights of women and girls, writes Open Society President Binaifer Nowrojee:

“We cannot allow this injustice to continue. Gender apartheid must not only be condemned, it must be eradicated.” Sahar Halaimzai speaks on the forgotten context around what really happened in Afghanistan — & action needed to end gender apartheid.

This happens every day. Every single day. And no one in the West cares. The mass killing of Palestinians is just background noise and has been for months now. We have normalized a genocide.

The Taliban just called girls’ and women’s rights and freedoms “minor issues” while banning UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett from the country.

"Despite serious risks to their safety, women are protesting in the streets under the slogan Bread, Work, Freedom, organising underground schools and allying with women’s rights champions like Malala Yousafzai to raise global awareness." Zarlasht Halaimzai for TIME time.com/7013395/kamala…

The Taliban have barred UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett (UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett) from entering Afghanistan. This decision is reflective of the Taliban’s continued effort to evade accountability. More on this via Reuters: mala.la/3SW1VH

Palestinian American voices deserve to be heard at the DNC. Still time to make the right decision. We hope they do. #DNC #Palestine #Israel #ceasefire #CEASEFIRE_NOW

Sorry to see my esteemed colleague, Richard Bennett, UN Special Rapporteur Richard Bennett, barred from entry in Afghanistan. With this decision to block a UN Independent Expert from entering the country, The Taliban displays the same disdain toward the UN and its values as Israel's Apartheid. This

For 3 years, the Taliban have showed us exactly who they are: misogynists who oppress girls and women. Their new laws banning Afghan women from speaking in public only further extend their system of gender apartheid. theguardian.com/global-develop…
