On September 25, 2024,Australia,Canada,Germany & Netherlands announced that they will take steps to file a case against Afghanistan for violating CEDAW to the @CIJ_ICJ. Almost a year later we know little about its progress. Read my brief analysis here👇: open.substack.com/pub/samiraha...

The US Defence Secretary has announced the termination of the Women, Peace and Security. "This is a wake-up call for the feminist community globally." - Samira Hamidi 📢 #WPS #WomenPeaceSecurity #Feminism #AmnestyFeminists #StandTogether

Dice @samirahamidi.bsky.social que no acepta que 20 años de avances, trabajo y riesgos para dar a las afganas un lugar digno en el país se hayan esfumado Hoy pelea para que los talibanes rindan cuentas y el mundo no olvide a Afganistán @amnistiainternacional.es @elpais.com elpais.com/planeta-futu...

US aid cuts, the climate crisis and forced deportations are compounding the humanitarian crisis. Meanwhile the Taliban has imposted even stricter restrictions on women and girls. We are rising with Afghan women to raise their voices - we won't back down. IN SOLIDARITY AND IN DEFIANCE.

Concerning reports from Afghanistan. * Unaccompanied women refused hospital care * Unaccompanied woman not allowed in markets or shops * A woman lost her baby after cycling three hours in labour to access healthcare * A girl set herself on fire to escape a forced marriage to a Taliban fighter.

Break the Silence: End human rights violations in Afghanistan www.amnesty.org/en/petition/...

The little details of our lives in 🇦🇫 that people still don’t know. Beyond dirty politics & politicians who ruined us,we had trust,values & empty.“The Kite Runner” books is so powerful, grim but real- tree branch = credit card. As I keep reading there is more nostalgia for home.

Public executions and corporal punishment are cruel and inhumane. Clear violation of international laws and standards. Scary to see this happening in Afghanistan and the Taliban proudly issue statements around it. It is all because the Taliban are not hold accountable. x.com/amnestysasia...

The shocking ill-treatment of Ahmad Manasra and cruelty exhibited towards him by the Israeli prison authorities and the Israeli justice system is an illustration of broader patterns of abuse against Palestinian detainees, especially children. www.amnesty.org/en/latest/ne...

First batch of my 2025 books. Got @khaledhosseini books again as want to read them again.

The UK government in the last 3 months of 2024 has rejected 26 Afghan women asylum cases. Taliban are persecuting women & girls for their gender & governments like UK further betray them. This is outrageous & all UK based advocates must speak out on this!! theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/a…

‏عید مبارک، روزه، نماز و دعا های تان قبول باشد. به امید روز که عید را به زودی در کابل جان تجلیل کنیم. روز های عید خوب و خوش داشته باشید. ‏Eid Mubarak everyone. Hoping for a day to celebrate Eid in Kabul Jan. Have a blessed and happy Eid Days.

For over three years, the rights of girls in Afghanistan have been violated. Education is a human right. We must continue to uplift Afghan women's voices and #RiseWithAfghanWomen. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #EducationIsAHumanRights #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #AmnestyFeminists

Eid will be celebrated in heavy times tomorrow- May this Eid brings a new beginning and ends all the existing cruelty and all those responsible for it. May Allah helps people from Afghanistan to Palatine to the rest of the world. #eidulfitr2025

Though the Afghanistan Women’s National Team escaped the Taliban in 2021, the shadow of systematic gender discrimination continues to follow them across borders, denying them their rightful place on the international stage,” said Samira Hamidi, South Asia campaigner at Amnesty International.

In two days, the Afghanistan Women’s National Football Team will be absent from the 2026 AFC Women’s Asian Cup Qualifiers draw. This marks the second World Cup-qualifying cycle from which the team has been excluded since 2021. FIFA must recognize, support Afghan women’s team in exile ✊ ⚽

Persecuted & banned by the Taliban, the Afghan women's football team is again set to be excluded from Asian Cup - ruling them out of the next World Cup too. Players in exile are demanding FIFA back them New @sportrightsall.bsky.social report out now 🧵 sportandrightsalliance.org/fifa-recogni...

The Pakistani govt plans to arbitrarily and forcibly expel Afghan nationals, including refugees and asylum seekers, as part of the ‘Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan’, scapegoating a community that has long been disenfranchised and fled persecution.
