As the UK is forming its new government, it’s essential to remind them about #AfghanistanCrisis, where over 50% of the population is facing extreme hunger. I reminded the MPs on the multiple crosses in #Afghanistan 🇦🇫 the need for the UK government to prioritize #Afghanstan!

Solidarity with striking NUJ members today. Journalists working for Reach from across Bristol and the South West are taking part in a national pay dispute. Staff were given a 1% pay rise last year and this year have rejected an offer of 3%.

Afghan girls are rewriting their own stories - using storytelling as a powerful tool of resistance!
In this piece of writing, Aisha Muradi called the women of her country to stay strong & be aware that this darkness is not permanent. Don't let ignorance prevent the buds of hope that have sprouted again in the dirt from blooming.
