Dear friends,

First of all, Happy International Women’s Day! Today, we celebrate the strength, courage, and resilience of women everywhere. And we celebrate you—for standing up for Afghan women by signing our petition.

We are thrilled to share that 10,100 people have now added their voices to this urgent call for action—what an incredible milestone! Your support is making waves, and we have now received a response from the Dutch government that, while not a definitive commitment, offers a glimmer of hope. This is a step forward, and we must keep the momentum going.

To mark this important day, we invite you to join our online event tomorrow—a space to reflect, connect, and discuss the next steps for supporting Afghan women.
