neulich mit meinen eltern ein gespräch geführt, das mir vor augen führte, warum es so wichtig ist, dass die solidarität mit den (noch kleinen) kämpfen gegen die tban zukunftsweisend für die region und ihre bevölkerung ist. #Afghanistan 1/x
mir ist bewusst, dass der bildungstandard, sofern es den in den letzten 20jahren in #Afghanistan gab, nicht flächendeckend zu verstehen ist. es gab eine große schere in der bildungsversorgung zw. ländlichen und städtischen gebieten. dennoch... 2/x
wuchs trotz komplexer umstände eine generation auf, die grundrechte von frau und mann anerkannte und als selbstverständlich erachtete. in all seinen nuancen und selbstverständlich problemen. (z.b. bei Scheidung, LGBTQIA* Rechte) 3/x
#Taliban Minister of Higher Education on his supposed official page posts his sermon blaming King Amanullah Khan and Zahir Shah for bringing the western formula of sending #girls to #schools. This was a prescription for promiscuity within #Afghanistan 1/
He says religious scholars stood up against them stating that this was in contradiction with #Islam, Afghan culture and our national honour. This is the mindset of the ministers while we call for #LetAfghanGirlsLearn. We truly are fighting an uphill battle 2/
It is also extremely disheartening to note that this Minister is not just a common Talib but one that is a Sheikh ul Hadith. If the scholars of the government think women should not leave their houses then how can the movement ever steer itself in a more sensible direction? 3/

"As the world clichés their way through the rights of women this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, please remember the Afghan women confined to the dark chambers of their homes - restrained and banned from education, the outdoors, parks, and life."
"Remember today's brave women of Iran fighting for their fundamental rights to choice, freedom, and life, with the hashtag #WomenLifeFreedom. Time will pass. Peace and equality for all too, will come with the efforts of untamable women. But history will not forget the culprits."

“Maybe you think somehow Afghan girls can live without dreams but among us are girls who want to be doctors, engineers, an astronaut ...
and for the last 20 years that your soldiers were here in our country you have encouraged us to think that we could be.”

“We are crying every day. But we still have phones and we read about England’s Lionesses on the football field and how proud you were. We had girls’ football teams too, you even sent people here to teach us, but now that is all gone, we could get in trouble even for watching it.”
Mehrafza, a 16 years old high school student, wanted to become a journalist. Her hopes are vanished. She says, “I am very hopeless. I had so many hopes, but now I feel my future is dark and uncertain. My rights as a human being are taken away.”

Mehrafza has three more sisters who are also school students. Due to the ban on girls education, they cannot go to school and pursue their dreams. Her sisters are very concerned. Among them is a 21 year old who is blind. She used to go to school and learn skills.
Her blind sister is also staying at home. Their father sells fruits & vegetables on a cart in Kabul city. They are a family of 8 persons. The humanitarian crisis has struck them hard. Her father barely earns between 100-200 Afghanis. He has to feed the family, pay the rent,
"Education was about hope for the future - especially for us girls."

"Through new partnerships and a new organization called the Afghan Future Fund, we’ve grown our programming. We are working to provide scholarships and placements for 250 or more Afghan students evacuated to third countries."
"YHF’s current program is expected to support 40,000 students across 19 Afghan provinces. We hope to do more, including coupling food and healthcare delivery with education so that families can be further incentivized to permit their girls to learn." #LetAfghanGirlsLearn
School strike week 199. Today, @Malala , @olya_mrd , activists from @Fridays4future & @Riseupmovt came together in Stockholm at our weekly strike, to share and learn about the link between girls’ education and climate action and to stand in solidarity with all Afghan girls. 1/7
A @MalalaFund report from last year estimates that if current trends continue, by 2025 climate change will be a contributing factor in preventing at least 12,5 million girls from completing their education each year. 2/7

Research shows that countries that have invested in girls’ education have suffered far fewer losses from droughts and floods than countries with lower levels of girls’ education. 3/7
This morning, a nation of girls thought they were heading to school. Upon arrival, they were told to go home.

“I feel really hopeless for my future. I don’t see a bright future for myself,” a schoolgirl in Kabul told @BBCYaldaHakim. “All we want is to go to school.”
“All we want is to continue with our education. Is it a sin to be girl, is it sin to seek education?"

My team went to Tango Camp, a village where more than 400 families live. 50 families (15 widows & 35 ultra-poor families) were identified. The team will continue identifying more families for the food drive and will be added to this #Thread

As Afghanistan faces a Humanatarian crisis, jobs lost..... LEARNs ongoing efforts are to provide food packages to families in dire need.
