You write in two paragraphs the following lines:

“Afghan women have demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability.”

“Despite these restrictions, Afghan women continue to exhibit incredible bravery.”

Yet,

“According to UN estimates, 612 million women and girls are currently affected by conflict, marking a 50% increase compared to a decade ago. The report found that the percentage of women killed in armed conflicts doubled in 2023 compared to the previous year.”

How are Afghan women showing resilience, adaptability and bravery when the statistics from the UN point to such atrocities against them? What do you mean when you write they are showing resilience and adaptability? What does this even look like because I’m having a hard time believing they’re anywhere near “okay”?

I appreciate your efforts to highlight what’s going on in Afghanistan because the women there cannot be forgotten. They deserve so much better from their country and the world.
