“Girls in Afghanistan carry strength in their hearts, courage in their eyes, and hope in their dreams — even in the darkest times.”

These powerful words come from our students in Afghanistan attending English courses with ASDD.

Their voices remind us that education is not just learning — it is resilience, dignity, and hope for a peaceful future.

Today marks the close of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence and Human Rights Day. We must listen to those who face daily systemic violence.

ASDD shares the powerful words of Shakila, one of our courageous students, from her reflection: "The Life of an Afghanistani Girl"

Shakila writes about the fear that now dictates her routine:
"My days start early. I wake up, get ready for the course I’m allowed to attend, and put on the black clothes chosen for me. The moment I step outside, my heart tightens. If I see a Taliban soldier standing on the street, my pulse speeds up, and I pray silently that I can pass without being questioned. This fear has become a normal part of our lives, even though it should never be."

Her experience shows that the denial of education and constant threat are forms of violence that affect her mind and future.
Stand with Shakila and all girls who are fighting for their rights and their lives.

Day 13 of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence
Today, we share an essay from Fayeza, one of our ASDD students, on the alarming rise of su***de among girls and women in Afghanistan. Her words shed light on a deeply painful reality:
“Unfortunately, one of the main reasons for su***de among Afghanistani girls is the lack of support and protection. When a girl becomes a victim of violence, she often has neither the strength to fight back nor access to any institution that could help or advocate for her. In such hopeless circumstances, su***de is sometimes seen as the only escape from pain and oppression.”

Fayeza’s message is a reminder that the crisis facing Afghanistani girls is not distant—it is immediate, urgent, and rooted in the denial of safety, education, and basic human rights.
Let us use these 16 days to not only raise awareness but also commit to meaningful action.

At ASDD, we are excited to launch a new initiative: The ASDD Birthday Pledge – Your Birthday, Her Future.
Every year, we celebrate our birthdays with joy, gatherings, and gifts. This year, we invite you to turn your birthday into something even more meaningful: giving Afghanistani girls access to education.
In 2023, our friend Ghizzoni dedicated her birthday to raising funds for ASDD. With her support, we launched our current programme, Empowering Minds, in Afghanistan. What began with 16 girls studying English has grown into a thriving in-person learning initiative supporting 40 students, many of whom are now nearing completion of their English studies. One of our students has already begun her higher education at a university in India—an achievement made possible because one person chose to pledge her birthday.

What does it mean to pledge your birthday?
It’s simple. Instead of receiving gifts, you invite your friends, colleagues, and loved ones to donate to ASDD in honor of your birthday. Their support helps provide safe learning spaces, English courses, mentorship, and essential resources for girls who have been denied formal schooling.

This programme was born from a birthday—and together, we can create many more opportunities.

This year, give the gift of education by joining the ASDD Birthday Pledge to turn your birthday into a source of real impact. Learn more and get started. Link in Bio

On Day 10 of 16 days of activism, ASDD is pleased to share an inspiring success story from our programme.

For two years, ASDD has provided in-person English classes and an online mentorship programme for young Afghanistani girls. Today, we proudly celebrate one of our students who began her English studies with us without understanding a single word. Through dedication and ongoing support from ASDD mentors and local teachers, she has now been accepted into a highly ranked online university in India to pursue her Bachelor’s degree in English. We will continue to support her through mentorship throughout her studies.
She shares:

"I’m grateful to have been studying here for almost two years. When I started, I couldn’t understand or speak English, but with time and effort I’ve learned so much. The ASDD Mentorship Program helped me practice and build my confidence.
I’m thankful for this programme. Recently, I was accepted into a well-known university in India. It became possible because I learned English and could follow the classes. I’m proud of myself for finding my path. Thank you for everything."

Her achievement reflects what education and opportunity can create.
Join us to celebrate this success story! 🥳 🙌 🎓 🎉

Day 8 of the 16 Days of Activism.

Today, on Day 8 of the 16 Days of Activism to End Violence Against Women, ASDD shares a few powerful quotes from young girls inside Afghanistan.

These are girls whose dreams and hopes have been taken from them under Taliban rule. Their words reflect exhaustion, uncertainty, and the daily struggle they face simply for wanting education, freedom, and safety.

Day 4 of our campaign “The Violence I Face”, where we highlight the specific forms of violence that Afghanistani women are experiencing.

Women in Afghanistan face nearly every type of gender-based violence—every single day.

Day 5 of the 16 Days of Activism:
Women and girls are facing an unprecedented humanitarian and rights crisis. Forced returns, displacement, natural disasters, and systemic repression under the Taliban are putting millions at risk. Our latest article explores the economic and social impacts of these crises and highlights why urgent action is needed to protect women’s safety, livelihoods, and rights. Read more to understand the challenges and how the international community can respond.

Day 7 of the 16 days of activism:
Today we share the words of Rahima, one of the brave girls in our programme in Afghanistan. Her essay describes what it means to live through “the darkest and most painful days” of a generation denied education and basic freedoms.

With every new ban—from school to Kankur courses to English class hope becomes harder to hold onto. Rahima writes of girls who are “surviving, not living”, trapped in a system that silences their dreams and their future.

Yet her voice is a powerful act of resistance. By writing, she refuses to disappear.
By sharing her story, she asks the world not to look away.

Rahima’s courage—and the courage of thousands of girls in Afghanistan—reminds us why this work matters. Their stories must be heard, and their right to learn must be defended.

On the third day of the 16 Days of Activism, we invite you to read an essay by our student Zinat, titled “I Am a Girl from Afghanistan”.

"My name carries the weight of history, my dreams carry the hope of generations, and my heart carries the silent stories of countless women who have walked this land before me. Yet, even today, in the heart of my homeland, violence—in many forms—still shadows our lives.
In my land, violence wears many faces; it is the hand that strikes, the law that ignores, the voice that scolds, and the tradition that binds. It is not always visible, yet it lingers, a shadow on childhood, a chain on freedom. A wound that refuses to heal."

Day 2 of

Against Gender-Based Violence: The Silence of Systemic Violence

The severity of the crisis in Afghanistan is compounded by the near-total dismantling of protection mechanisms.

The woman who stated, "We are prisoners in our own lives, living in fear, without the right to speak, choose, or even think freely," speaks to a reality where:

👉 GBV Data is Scarce: Organisations and laws previously used to report and prosecute cases of gender-based violence (GBV) have been abolished.

👉 Protection is Gone: Mechanisms like women's shelters, specialised courts, and the Elimination of Violence Against Women Law (EVAW) have been systematically dismantled.

👉 87% of women regularly experience violence, yet there is virtually no formal avenue for justice or safety for survivors.

💔 “The Violence I Face” 💔
Since 2021, Afghanistani women have been silenced, erased, and excluded under the Taliban’s rule. Banned from schools, workplaces, public spaces, and even digital platforms, their voices are systematically silenced. This is gender apartheid in action.

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence (Nov 25 – Dec 10), ASDD is turning these silenced voices into stories the world must hear. Our 2025 campaign invites students inside Afghanistan to share their lived experiences of violence, oppression, and resilience. Starting November 25th, their essays will be published on our website and social media, accompanied by a series of articles highlighting and analysing the current situation for women in Afghanistan.

✨ How you can help:
Read & share their stories
Raise awareness in your network
Support education & mentorship for girls in Afghanistan
Together, we can amplify their voices and demand justice. 🌍✊
