The Taliban’s seizure of power in Afghanistan in August 2021 resulted in sweeping changes to the lives of all Afghans, but Afghan women and girls face particularly dire restrictions on their rights in their daily lives.  In December 2022, the Taliban also banned women from working with aid groups making it now impossible for organizations like the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and CARE from operating. In addition, most women are no longer allowed to work (except for a few select sectors) and girls are no longer allowed to go to school.

Consider signing this petition to urge governments to rise together, leverage their power, and negotiate with the Taliban for basic human rights for women and girls 👉 https://www.amnesty.org/en/petition/afghan-women-they-are-the-revolution-stand-with-them/
