"My name is Parastou Ashori, and I am a women's rights activist and the co-founder of HerPathToKnowledge, an organization that provides underground education to Afghan girls who have been denied the right to learn. I continue my passion for journalism as a student at Suffolk University in the United States. But my story begins far away, in a beautiful small village of Badakhshan, Afghanistan.'

"کابل بودم که بدخشان سقوط کرد. به بدخشان رفتم و شنیدم که کابل هم سقوط کرده است. از کابل به سمت بدخشان حرکت کردیم. در مسیر، با دشواریهای زیادی روبهرو شدیم: دزدان مسلح که جیب مسافران را خالی میکردند، مینهای کار گذاشته شده در جاده، و ترس دائمی از درگیریها. با سختیهای بسیار به فیضآباد رسیدیم." نوشتهی کامل را در ویبسایت ما بخوانید: https://lnkd.in/gAVvCSU8 آیا شما هم یک دختر/زن افغان هستید و دوست دارید نوشتههای شما توسط ما نشر شود؟ همین امروز از طریق ایمیل با ما تماس بگیرید: info@herstory-af.org #AfghanWomenVoices #HerStoryAfghanistan #WomenEmpowerment #GirlsEducation #AfghanStories #InTheirWords #WriteForChange #AfghanGirls #EducationForAll #WomenInConflict #StorytellingMatters #BreakTheSilence #EmpowerThroughWriting #VoicesUnheard #HerStoryWrites

“I was in Kabul when Badakhshan fell. I traveled to Badakhshan and then heard that Kabul had also fallen. We set off from Kabul to Badakhshan. Along the way, we faced numerous challenges: armed robbers emptying travelers’ pockets, landmines planted on the roads, and the constant fear of clashes. After much difficulty, we finally reached Faizabad.” Read the full writing piece on our website at https://lnkd.in/gAVvCSU8 Are you an Afghan girl/woman interested in having your writings published by us?

1/4: In a devastating move that further restricts the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan, the Taliban has announced an outright ban on women studying all medical fields, including nursing and midwifery. This was the only field of education available to women and girls at a 2-year post-secondary level—and now, even that is being stripped away. #AfghanWomen #EducationIsAHumanRight #SaveAfghanGirls #EndTalibanTerror #StandForFreedom #GlobalAction

4/4: The repercussions of these actions extend far beyond Afghanistan’s borders, testing the strength of international norms and raising questions about the commitment to human rights on a global scale. The international community must act decisively—not just for the sake of Afghanistan’s future, but for the future of peace, equality, and human rights around the world. #AfghanWomen #EducationIsAHumanRight #SaveAfghanGirls #EndTalibanTerror #StandForFreedom #GlobalAction
