🚨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.

Not a single country in the 🌎 has achieved gender equality.
There’s been progress, but real change is agonizingly slow.
The upcoming #GenerationEquality Forum in Paris is our opportunity to call on the world to #ActForEqual!

To be able to exercise their #HumanRights and make essential decisions, women need to be able to decide freely and responsibly on the number and spacing of their children and to have access to information, education, and services.

Literacy = Opportunity
All women and girls have the right to learn how to read and write, but they continue to be left behind when it comes to education.
