How do we address the crisis in Afghanistan? Bolster feminist movements

All over the world, feminist activists and organizations have toppled barriers to social justice and human rights.

Afghan women, pictured May 7, 2012, lining up at a UN World Food Program Distribution Point in Herat, Afghanistan. Make no mistake: every one of us in Canada has benefitted from those efforts today. Feminist movements are essential to national and global peace, safety, and well-being. Afghan women have been a part of the movements for decades. We have to do all we can to ensure they and their efforts survive and thrive. Photograph courtesy of Flickr/United Nations/Eric Kanalstein
