🚨What is happening in #Afghanistan is an alarm bell for us all. 🚨
It shows how decades of progress on gender equality and women’s rights can be wiped out in months.
The fight for women’s rights in Afghanistan is a global fight, and a battle for women’s rights everywhere.

Change the narrative: Believe women.
Don’t excuse perpetrators. Don’t joke about gender-based violence.
There is something each one of us can do to end rape culture.

Many Afghan women and girls feel that they are now invisible, and that the world has forgotten them.

Afghan women and girls remain the country’s greatest untapped resource.
There cannot be durable peace or stability in #Afghanistan if women are banned from equally participating in the life of their country.

Today, we remember Katherine Johnson, born #OnThisDay in 1918, who fought discrimination and helped put the first human on the moon.
✨Her legacy will continue to inspire generations of girls and #WomenInScience to never give up on their dreams. ✨

6 months into the war in #Ukraine, women continue to play a vital role in the humanitarian response. Yet women are not fully included in formal decision-making at ALL levels.
Women's leadership and equal voice is essential to reflect their needs, protect lives and build peace.

Humanitarian needs have reached an all-time high globally.
UN Women’s humanitarian services, in partnership with women’s groups and organizations, improve the livelihood opportunities, protection, and self-reliance of crisis-affected women and girls.💙

We spoke to Afghan women about the situation in #Afghanistan since the Taliban takeover in 2021. This is what they had to say.

❌ Refusing to accept restrictions on their right to learn and to work.
❌ Refusing to accept being silenced.

Let girls study today and lead tomorrow in #Afghanistan and everywhere in the world.

We need a world where women's rights are respected.
Strong legal frameworks must be put in place to advance gender equality in all areas.

Women and girls...
go to work
go to school
take walks
ride bikes
go travelling
feel the sun on their face.
❌ Not in #Afghanistan.
Afghan women want, what everyone wants: to live lives of their choosing in peace.

We all must - and will - continue to elevate the voices of Afghan women and girls.
