?? Heartbreaking news from Afghanistan: The Taliban’s latest restrictions prevents Afghan women from hearing each other's voices. The new ban further isolates them from each other, limiting their freedom to connect, share, and support one another. At Girl Up, we stand with Afghan women and girls in solidarity and are committed to amplifying their voices in the fight for equality and freedom. Women’s voices matter—now more than ever.
