A big thank you to @CroftonHouse for inspiring solidarity for Afghan women and girls’ education for Women Leaders of Tomorrow. The students also made signs with the message #walkwithafghanwomen #WeStandwithAfghanWomen and #GOAL #WLOT, as well as packed care packages for the newly arrived Afghan refugee families. Such an advocacy could revive hope and end this dark era for women and girls in Afghanistan. Did you know that 5 million girls are out of school? It has been 80 days since girls are prevented from getting an education.
