    Last week, the Taliban issued horrific new edicts banning women from showing their faces, interacting with unrelated men, & having their voices heard, calling them "awraa" (parts of the body to be kept private). Afghan women are fighting back with a campaign of singing & poetry.

    Yesterday, Afghan women protested peacefully against Taliban oppression, even as their protest was dispersed. They chanted: "No to gender apartheid. The Taliban must know they cannot silence us with their guns." Despite imprisonment, and torture, they persist. We stand with them.

    In August, the Taliban banned women from speaking publicly. In response, Afghan women launched a campaign of singing, poetry, and videos. One woman says: "Free yourself from constraints. Women’s voices are not Awraa." We stand with them and will continue to amplify their voices.

    Iranians are outraged at death of #MahsaAmini, following her brutal arrest by morality police. FEMENA calls on Iranian authorities to end policies that control women’s bodies, including the draconian policy of policing women for the way they dress. #مهساامینی #BodilyAutonomy

    #ZholiaParsi, a Woman Human Rights Defender (WHRD) and protester, was arrested by the Taliban in Kabul today, following the arrest of her colleague #NedaParwani last week. WHRDs persistently endure arbitrary arrests, imprisonment, and torture under #Taliban rule.
