The rights and freedoms of Afghan women have been severely curtailed since 2021, when the Taliban took over. From losing access to education and employment to facing severe limitations on their personal freedoms, the impact has been devastating.

There is not much more to say about this other than the reality of us, I include myself in this too, turning a blind eye to gender apartheid in Afghanistan.
The Afghan Community of the Bay Area came together to remember the life of 14 year old Rezwan Kohestsni who’s life was cut too short.
