„For the past 20 years, we have been studying and trying to achieve our goals. But today, unfortunately, all the Afghan women’s dreams have been destroyed. Now that the Taliban control the country, even raising the Afghan national flag has become an act of resistance. Many women are waiting to raise their voices, but they are still afraid that they will not be able to leave their homes. I raise the voice of millions of Afghan women, because a woman can be just as brave as a man, has the right to study, to work, and maintain a meaningful presence in the development of the country.“
Samira Khairkhwah is one of the first women to publicly raise her voice against the new Taliban regime as she coordinated the first women rights protest in Kabul by setting up messenger groups for women and preparing papers and leaflets in Farsi as well as in English. Following this, the Taliban openly requested her to immediately cease all activities or be murdered as they had identified her as a leader of the Kabul women’s rights protests against their regime. Being urged by her family that was fearing for her life, she ultimately left the country. She continues to keep engaged in the Afghan women’s rights struggle as she has been giving interviews on the situation of women and girls in Afghanistan. She also stays in close touch with spontaneous movements of women’s rights fighters in Afghanistan as she vows solidarity with every girl whose life and freedom is in danger.

Vom 21. November bis zum 9. Dezember 2022 finden die Aktionstage gesellschaft*macht*geschlecht in Bonn statt, die vom bundesweiten studentischen Dachverband „freier zusammenschluss von student*innenschaften“ (fzs) initiiert wurden.
Die Veranstaltungsreihe gesellschaft*macht*geschlecht richtet sich gegen Sexismus, Homo- und Transphobie und verfolgt eine feministische Auseinandersetzung mit Hochschule und Gesellschaft. Ein Hauptanspruch des intersektionalen Feminismus ist es, bestehende Gesellschaftsverhältnisse und Machtstrukturen im Hinblick auf Mehrfachdiskriminierungen und ihre Folgen zu analysieren und in allen Forderungen konsequent mitzudenken.
Nach den Vorträgen möchten wir deshalb besonders über Solidarität und die Verbindung feministischer Kämpfe sprechen und laden zum gemeinsamen Austausch ein.
Wir freuen uns auf zwei bereichernde, empowernde Wochen der Aufklärung!
