When women are denied education, work, and freedom, their mental health suffers too. This is not an individual crisis—it is a structural one. #Afghanistan #MentalHealth #AfghanWomen #WomensRights

Five years on, Afghan women and girls remain deprived of their basic rights, education, and freedom. Their voices cannot be ignored. This statement calls for stronger and more meaningful action to defend their rights, dignity, and future. aurorahumanitarian.org/en/aurora-hu...

Sumaya’s story is the story of millions. For five years, Afghan girls like Sumaya have been denied the chance to learn, grow, work, and shape their own futures. Their dreams deserve more than restrictions. They deserve a future. #letafghangirlslearn
