As an Afghan American woman, I know firsthand that oppression somewhere opens the doors for oppression elsewhere.
When foreign powers, the Taliban, oppressed my fellow Afghan women, my heart broke.
My heart breaks. For the people of Iran who protest for their rights. For the women in Afghanistan who yearn for their education. For my fellow American women who desperately seek their rights to healthcare. And for those who have not properly understood the larger matter at hand

Schools reopened across Afghanistan today, for all boys. Teenage girls now being denied an education. This young girl asks "why shouldn't we go to school?" Life under Taliban rule seems to be reverting back to the 90s.

You know what they say: If you want the job of saving millions of innocent lives done right, you’ve got to do it yourself. Sam sat down with @nuraphd and @87films to understand how local organizing efforts are picking up the slack in the fight to save Afghan lives.
What American Citizens Can Do To Help Afghanistan
MICROAGGRESSIONS continued:
16.Do not treat them with pity or an air of superiority. We are privileged to not have to endure the upheaval of our homes. We have infinitely more opportunities as a result, & this doesn’t not make us better than another person.
17.Don’t discuss the latest news headlines about Afghanistan with them. They likely have PTSD & may make conscious efforts of how & when they find out about certain news items. What may be a headline to you can trigger an alarming worry about loved ones at an untimely moment.
18.Do NOT ask their political opinions about different individuals or groups in Afghanistan. They will continue to carry a feeling of not being safe for some time. Discussing politics that has impacted their lives is a very uncomfortable situation.
