To Australia, Canada, Germany, and the Netherlands:

The Taliban is trying to erase Afghan women. Imagine not being allowed to talk, laugh or sing. Imagine being a prisoner in your own home. Imagine life passing you by. That’s the daily reality of millions of women and girls. Last year you vowed to take steps toward holding Afghanistan accountable for its relentless women’s rights abuses, possibly even at the world’s top court. One year on, we remember the promise you made and urge you to take all necessary steps towards justice.

Take the Taliban to court!
Four years ago, the Taliban took over Afghanistan — and turned life into a living nightmare for women and girls.

Now they’re banned from secondary schools, from most work, and even from speaking or showing their faces in public. One Taliban cleric just said: “Women do not have the right to look at others with both eyes.”

It’s unthinkable in 2025 – but brave Afghan women are resisting and a group of governments even vowed to hold the Taliban accountable!

Germany, Canada, Australia, and the Netherlands have been laying the groundwork for a potential lawsuit at the world’s top court, but are now stalling. So let’s turn up the pressure and demand justice for Afghanistan’s women and girls – sign and share now!
