The de facto authorities in #Afghanistan have enacted a law that bans women’s voices in public, among many other oppressive measures. These measures must be IMMEDIATELY reversed. We stand in unwavering solidarity with Afghan women & girls. Our statement:

We strongly condemn the murder of Rebecca Cheptegei, the third elite runner to be murdered in Kenya. All suspects were intimate partners of the athletes. No impunity for perpetrators. The trend of #femicide must be stopped. Statement by @unwomenafrica

Today we mourn the 6 Israeli hostages whose bodies have been recovered, two of them young women. Many more female hostages remain in captivity after nearly 11 months. We continue to call for the unconditional release of hostages & for an immediate ceasefire. Enough is enough.

The Taliban’s latest morality law isn't just a step backwards— it’s an assault on Afghan women and girls, stripping away their most basic freedoms and dignity. Reversal is not an option; it is an imperative.
