Boko Haram’s rejection of Western education is a war against knowledge, progress, and the future of our children. Education is not a threat — it’s the light that breaks ignorance and extremism. No society rises by silencing schools. 📚✊ #EducationForAll #StopBokoHaram

Globally, 1 in 5 young women were married as children in 2024.

No girl should be forced to marry.

Every girl has a right to protection — and to decide her own future.

Gender equality is the cornerstone of social, political, and economic progress.

We must ensure equal opportunities for every girl child, by placing them at the forefront of change, listening to their voices, responding to their aspirations, and including them in decision-making.

😡 Imagine, India let Those filthy creatures (Talibans )to visit their country and command the Indian government to remove all the females that are inside the press conference hall. This is utterly barbaric.

Ladies and gentlemen if you don't act now, one day this barbarism will reach you.

Today is #WorldTeachersDay!👩‍🏫

Teaching is collaboration. From co-teaching to integrated partnerships, when teachers learn & work together, they amplify impact.

See how UNESCO is paving the way: unesco.org/en/days/teache…

Happy Teacher’s Day to all the brave Afghan women educators. For four years, Taliban have brutally banned women teachers from schools and universities clear act of oppression & a tragedy for our society. When women are silenced and denied education, whole nation loses its light.

Mahrang Baloch is not only a name, she is an era of resistance, which will continue to lighten the Baloch generations. Her strong advocacy against the Baloch rights violations is a testimony to her loyalty with the Baloch and against the tyrants.
