Angelina Jolie Instagram – I received a new letter today from my young Afghan friend. I’m protecting her name and identity for her and her family’s sake. “I heard the saddest news”, she writes. Today the Taliban sent armed men to bar Afghan girls from going to university. It comes on top of a complete ban on high school education for girls. Afghanistan is now the only country in the world that bans education for women. “All the girls wish that they were born as a boy so that they would have the right to get educated”. While supporting Afghan women in the face of this cruel, oppressive policy, there is more we can do to help Afghans who are rebuilding their lives in America. Congress has a chance this week to pass legislation giving a path to lawful permanent residence for Afghan families who were evacuated to the US when the Taliban took power, and to help almost 1,500 unaccompanied Afghan children who’ve been separated from their parents or primary caregiver. Please ask your Members of Congress to pass the bipartisan Afghan Adjustment Act. #LetAfghanGirlsLearn #AAA @upliftafgfund
