Maybe Afghanistan isn’t at war today, but Afghan women are far from peace. They can’t: 1. Work to support their families 2. Receive an education 3. Walk freely in public 4. Pray together 5. Look out of a window 6. Seek justice This is gender apartheid, not peace. @SE_AfghanWGH @SR_Afghanistan @antonioguterres @michaelgwaltz @marcorubio @amnesty @UN @unwomenafghan
