Today is International Day of Human Space Flight, marking the first human space flight more than 60 years ago. In 1988, #Afghanistan sent is first cosmonaut to the MIR station, later replaced by the International International Space Station, and Pashto became fourth language spoken in space.
Long overdue and obvious step. 🇨🇦 should quickly incorporate into Canadian criminal law. What is a #FeministForeignPolicy if not plainly, clearly, unequivocally and unhesitatingly against 'gender apartheid'!
Next week, we look forward to welcoming Gamze Ovacık for a talk titled 'Safe Third Country Practices as a Tool for Containment of Human Mobility'.
Christina Clark-Kazak will be the discussant and Philippe M. Frowd will chair.

Heartbroken to learn that Fahim Azimi, my former student at Kabul University, is arbitrarily detained. Fahim, full of life, worked for education and managed the Afghan girls' robotic team post-graduation. Now, in prison for his dedication. This injustice must end. #FreeFahim
Afghan women now depend on men in their family or even neighbours to access basic services and healthcare. At this point, the Taliban’s mahram rules seem to be an excuse to further exclude women from society. #Afghanistan #GenderApartheid

Afghan women are not silent victims. They are resilient leaders and advocates for their rights and dignity. In my latest blog post on Amnesty Canada, I explore how they are challenging gender-based violence and oppression. #EndGBV #AfghanWomen #16DaysActivism
