At #TYTW, our mission is to empower girls and end child marriage. To our great dismay, this year’s #InternationalDayForTheEliminationOfViolenceAgainstWomen is marked by the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan and resultant rollback of girls and women’s rights. ⁠
⁠
We’ve heard devastating media reports of young girls sold into marriage to men decades older. Magul, 10; Zohra, 7; Noqra, 8; Saliha, 7; Benazir, 8; Parwana, 9 (with her 2-year-old sister also at risk); are just some of countless children faced with this fate. Sobbing, Magul pleaded with a CNN reporter, “If they make me go, I will kill myself. I don’t want to leave my parents.” ⁠
⁠
Make your voice heard and protest the forced marriages of Afghan girls by signing our petition spearheaded by Afghan Peace Negotiator and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee Fawzia Koofi. ⁠
