The freedom to use your voice, move your body, and share your skills, should be a freedom we all enjoy. Such an uplifting end to the #IW2025 week! Hosting @BeyondSkin’s Afghan women solidarity concerts at the Ulster Orchestra HQ, with @niamh_journo and @alghochak chair Fatima Sarwari, was a joy. I was inspired by the performers, and found the song, and dance in particular, so moving. None of us are free until we are all free. #IWD2025

Wow.
Attending the Afghan Solidarity Concert in Belfast yesterday was amazing. The music was moving, inspirational, and powerful.
Congratulations, @BeyondSkin @UlsterOrchestra, for making this happen.

Afghanistan is the most oppressive country for women!
16 female foreign ministers condemned the Taliban’s systematic violations of Afghan women’s and girls’ rights. They urged the world to stand with Afghan women & demanded that Taliban be held accountable for their oppression!
