Friday’s suicide attack in #Afghanistan killed and wounded students - majority were young women.
The perpetrators must be held to account.
All Afghans, REGARDLESS of ethnicity or gender, must have safe access to education.

At the current rate of progress, it will take 130 years to reach gender equality in the highest positions of power.
To change course, power must be shared equally, made visible and accountable, at all levels
That is what’s at the core of feminist leadership.
