Today, women in Afghanistan are being shot in the streets simply for anting an education, wanting a job. Wanting to work and wanting to walk outside without a man's permission.
Taliban security forces killed one person and several wounded. Dozens arrested including women and girls.
It started last Friday, when Taliban imams announced from mosque loudspeakers that women were forbidden from leaving their homes without full hijab, including face cover.
Morality police flooded Herat's streets, markets, and shopping centers, batons in hand, arresting women for their clothing.
Just one day after some men in the West rolled out the red carpet for the Taliban, normalizing them, legitimizing them, shaking their hands, you can see how savagely women being shot and beaten up in the streets.
This is a total betrayal…Do not even dare to speak on behalf of wounded women.
An Afghan man, perfect English, telling you women in Afghanistan are fine. Just fine. Don't worry.
This is not nuance. This is normalization. This is normalizing Taliban.
Let’s women in Afghanistan talk.
Women who have been flogged. Women who have been imprisoned. Women who have been denied an education. Women who have watched their lives disappear under gender apartheid.
We the women of Iran have seen this movie before. Just watch the second video.
An Iranian man, same perfect English, so relax, saying IRGC the terrorist organization that massacres protesters, and morality police are not that bad, they’re just fine and women if you don’t have fun with them!
To every Afghan woman, every Iranian woman: Be louder than these men.
Do not let anyone with microphones, normalize what is being done to your bodies, your lives, your freedom.
