Afghanistan: Women and girls in danger.Sign to protect your rights!
On August 15, the Taliban took power in Afghanistan.And with that, control over the human rights of people living there, putting at risk, especially women and girls.
Until then, Afghan women and girls could go to school and universities, be owners of their own businesses and occupy political positions.But now, the vast majority have to stay at home until the laws take them into account again.
It is a very low percentage of girls who can go to school and segregation between men and women in universities is being an obstacle to many young women who want to continue studying to have a career.
Women's persecution is not only in education.They are limiting their right to freedom of movement, freedom of expression and association and even that they can dress as they want.Afghan women had already managed to advance many rights during the last 20 years despite political instability and conflict in Afghanistan.And now they could lose everything they had achieved with the presence of the Taliban.
Ask countries that have influence on the Taliban that defend the rights of Afghan women and girls.
