As the Taliban retook control over Afghanistan in 20 years, they are oppressing women’s rights. They are, in particular, forcing women to wear burka, a head-to-ankle robe. In response, Afghan women began to show that burka is not an Afghan culture, and in order to inform the international community of misinformation spread by the Taliban, they are protesting by posting photos of them wearing colorful and beautiful Afghan traditional clothes on their social media with hashtag #DoNotTouchMyClothes and #AfghanistanCulture.
Afghan women want the world to pay attention to what the Taliban is doing in Afghanistan, and they want the world to be avoice for Afghan women.
VANK has been working hard to inform the international community about the issue of comfort women by the Japanese military as a global women’s right issue beyond the historical issues of Korea and Japan. We believe that the campaign to inform the world about the resistance movement of Afghan women against the Taliban is just as important as an activity to raise awareness about the comfort women issue.
In response, VANK started a global campaign that tells the world of Afghan women’s resistance movement.
VANK has created and distributing digital posters on social media presenting Afghan women’s resistance movement #DoNotTouchMyClothes campaign.
Please participate in the global poster campaign and inform the world about Afghan women’s rights!
