“ We take our lead from our Afghan sisters – activists who have amplified the on-the-ground realities and needs for over twenty years , working tirelessly and creatively to support women and girls and their families amidst an endless , imperialist war . Women of the world and our allies stand with the women – and all vulnerable groups – of Afghanistan against imperialism , militarism , fundamentalism , and fascism . None of us are free until the women of Afghanistan are free . We stand with the women of Afghanistan who believe women have the right to education , to travel , to freedom of movement , to jobs , to security , just having freedom to be able to breathe and be . We cannot underestimate the power of our solidarity at this moment .”
